JWST Identifies Potential Origins of Intermediate Mass Black Hole Seeds

This announcement comes as astrophysicists seek to understand the growth of black holes through hierarchical mergers. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have located the ancient sources of intermediate mass black hole seeds in young massive clusters from the high-redshift Universe. These findings could help bridge the gap between stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes like the one at the Milky Way's center.
