Simulating Intermediate Black Hole Mass Measurements for a Sample of Galaxies with Nuclear Star Clusters Using ELT/HARMONI High Spatial Resolution Integral-field Stellar Kinematics

Understanding the demographics of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, M _BH  ≈ 10 ^2 –10 ^5 M _⊙ ) in low-mass galaxies is key to constraining black hole seed formation models, but detecting them is challenging due to their small gravitational sphere of influence (SOI). The upcoming Extremely Larg...
