3/ 🧵 The intermediate black holes usually fill the gap between stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes. They are not yet confirmed black holes. They are expected to have mass significantly higher than stellar mass black holes but lower than millions to billions of solar masses found in supermassive black holes. Its presence is evident by the velocities of gas clouds and the spectra of accretion disk around these objects. A theory suggests that they are formed as a result of the merging of multiple stellar-mass black holes. Another theory suggests they are formed in the heart of dense star clusters where collision and merging of smaller black holes occurs.
