Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Quasar Microlensing

Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their birth masses, offering critical insights into the formation of heavy black hole seeds and the dynamical processes drivin...
