Where Are All the Intermediate Mass Black Holes? Microlensing Fast Radio Bursts Might Reveal Them

Summary by Universe Today
In the heirarchy of black holes, intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) lie in between stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes. But the problem is that we've never found one. There have been hints, but nothing conclusive. Could gravitational microlensing of Fast Radio Bursts help find them?

Recent studies have sought to elucidate the existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), a theoretical class of black holes situated between stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes. Researchers have proposed a new method for detecting them, using microlensing coupled with Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). Black holes and their hierarchy Black holes are classified in a hierarchy of masses. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are found a…
