Tidal Disruption of a Main-Sequence Star by an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole: A Bright Decade
Jin-Hong Chen, Rong-Feng Shen
There has been suggestive evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs; 10^{3-5} M_sun) existing in some globular clusters (GCs) and dwarf galaxies, but IMBHs as a population r…
