N-body simulations of globular clusters in tidal fields: Effects of intermediate-mass black holes
Nora Lützgendorf, Holger Baumgardt, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may provide the missing link to understanding the growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. Some formation scenarios predict t…
On central black holes in ultra-compact dwarf galaxies
Steffen Mieske, Matthias Frank, Holger Baumgardt +3
CONTEXT: The dynamical mass-to-light (M/L) ratios of massive ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are about 50% higher than predicted by stellar population models. AIMS: Here we inv…
Did massive black holes in globular clusters initially satisfy galactic scaling relations?
J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Nora Lützgendorf
The masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs, M_BH=10^6-10^11 Msun) in the centres of galaxies are related to the host stellar spheroid mass and velocity dispersion. A key questio…
The M_BH - sigma relation for intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters
Nora Lützgendorf, Markus Kissler-Patig, Nadine Neumayer +6
For galaxies hosting supermassive black holes (SMBHs), it has been observed that the mass of the central black hole (M_BH) tightly correlates with the effective or central velocity…
Indication for an intermediate-mass black hole in the globular cluster NGC 5286 from kinematics
A. Feldmeier, N. Lützgendorf, N. Neumayer +6
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, 10^2-10^5 M_sun) fill the gap between stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Simulations have shown that IMBHs may for…
Intermediate-mass black holes in Globular Clusters
Nora Lützgendorf, Markus Kissler-Patig, Karl Gebhardt +6
For a sample of nine Galactic globular clusters we measured the inner kinematic profiles with integral-field spectroscopy that we combined with existing outer kinematic measurement…
