Quantifying the coexistence of massive black holes and dense nuclear star clusters (2009, background): “Cen: As noted by Noyola et al. (2008), this object may have an IMBH, although these authors conclude that " detailed numerical simulations are required to confidently rule out other possibilities " .”
Observational evidence for intermediate-mass black holes (2017, background): “This is the case of another strong IMBH candidate in a globular cluster, ω Centauri, for which Noyola et al. (2008, 2010) claimed the presence of an IMBH of best-fitted mass (4.7±1.0)×104 M while van der Marel & Anderson (2010) reported an upper limit of 1.2 × 104 M .”
Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology with Gravitational Waves (2009, background): “Very recently [275] strong evidence has been found for such a black hole in the star cluster Omega Centauri.”
Black Holes in Pseudobulges and Spheroidals: A Change in the Black Hole-Bulge Scaling Relations at Low Mass (2008, background): “…Better statistics are needed, particularly since a fraction of ourmeasurements are probably dominated by rotation, but it is at least intriguing that the MBH- relation seems to be preserved, even for the massive globular clusters G1 and Omega Cen (Gebhardt et al. 2002, 2005; Noyola et al. 2008).”
THE NGC 404 NUCLEUS: STAR CLUSTER AND POSSIBLE INTERMEDIATE-MASS BLACK HOLE (2010, background): “Possible IMBHs at the center of star clusters (and possible former nuclei) G1 (Gebhardt et al. 2005), ω Cen (Noyola et al. 2008; van der Marel & Anderson 2009), and M54 (Ibata et al. 2009) suggest that IMBHs with masses of 104−5 M⊙ may be widespread, but these results remain controversial.”
