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, MBH ≈ 102–105M⊙) in low-mass galaxies is key to constraining black hole seed formation models, but detecting them is challenging due to their small gravitational sphere…
