New research may have delivered bad news for scientists who thought they had discovered a "missing link" black hole in a dense Milky Way star cluster. "The hunt for elusive intermediate-mass black ...

has identified a long-searched member of the black hole family — an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) in Omega Centauri, the most massive star cluster of the Milky Way galaxy. The peer ...

Planetary nebulae (PNe) are fascinating astronomical objects that represent a late stage in the evolution of low- to intermediate-mass stars. They are formed when these stars expel their outer ...

While the star was alive, nuclear fusion created ... Astronomers also suspect that a class of objects called intermediate-mass black holes exist in the universe, although evidence for them is ...
