Scientists have discovered that intermediate-mass black holes may have formed in dense star clusters. Known as “globular clusters”, these bodies are filled with tens of thousands to millions of tightly packed stars.
A recent simulation revealed that black holes which have their masses ranging between 100 and 10,000 times that of the sun could take birth via a chaotic chain of collisions.Scientists have discovered that rarely found intermediate-mass black holes may have formed in dense star clusters. Known as “globular clusters”, these bodies are filled with tens of thousands to millions of tightly packed stars.
Again, the super gigantic black holes are the ones which usually have a mass which is equal to millions or even billions of suns combined together! The astronomers share that these cosmic folks were pretty rare in 2012. Astronomers further opine that it’s pretty hard and rare to encounter those stars which are huge in size and can form a black hole. This experiment showcased that a molecular cloud which was really dense consisted of globular clusters which might have created huge stars which can collapse and release an intermediate-mass black hole.
