The Intermediate-mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-infrared Lags in Prototypical Intermediate-mass Black Holes in NGC 4395 and POX 52

The Intermediate-mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-infrared Lags in Prototypical Intermediate-mass Black Holes in NGC 4395 and POX 52

The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding the black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. NGC 4395 and POX 52 are two prototypical IMBH hosts, both exhibiting multiline evidence of low-mass...
