Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating connection between nuclear star clusters and intermediate-mass black holes in this lecture by renowned astrophysicist Joseph Silk. Discover how nuclear star clusters may be the missing link in the formation of massive black holes, with million solar mass black holes potentially forming within 100 million years in the heaviest and most compact clusters. Learn about the potential gravitational-wave signatures of this massive black hole formation process and gain insights into the cutting-edge research in this field of astrophysics.
