Wandering intermediate-mass black holes and off-nuclear tidal disruption events from early star clusters

Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Yihao Zhou +9

Off-nuclear tidal disruption events (TDEs) reveal evidence for massive black holes outside galactic centers, but the origins of this wandering population remain uncertain. We inves…
