Formation and growth of intermediate-mass black holes in dense star clusters: Lessons from N-body and MOCCA Monte Carlo Simulations

Abbas Askar, Marcelo C. Vergara, Sohaib Ali

Dense star clusters are promising nurseries for the formation and growth of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs; $\sim 10^2-10^5{\mathrm{M}}_{\odot }$), with increasing observation…
