Astronomers Discover Largest Collection of Missing Link Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

193

Astronomers have uncovered 2,500 dwarf galaxies containing active black holes using DESI data. This marks the largest-ever discovery of intermediate-mass black holes, with 300 new candidates identified. These findings could help scientists understand how black holes evolve from stellar-mass to supermassive sizes. The research, based on 410,000 galaxies, suggests many …Astronomers have uncovered 2,500 dwarf galaxies containing active black holes using DESI data.
