An intermediate-mass black hole is one that has a mass somewhere between 100 and a million solar masses, i.e., larger than the stellar black holes, but smaller than the supermassive black holes. It seems likely that such holes should exist, but the observational evidence is not yet very firm.

An intermediate black hole is one whose mass is somewhere between that of a stellar black hole (a few times the mass of the Sun), and that of a supermassive, or galactic, black hole (millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun).

Is an Intermediate-mass black hole a type of black hole?

Yes. Intermediate-mass blackhole is a medium size black hole. Scientists have found stellar black holes and supermassive black holes but there is no prove that Intermediate-mass black type of black holes exist. My opinion is that they do exist because when a black hole is becoming a black hole supermassiveblack hole it will need to go though this stage of intermediate-mass black hole.


Could a hypernova form an intermediate mass black hole?

Supernovae, including hypernovae, are expected to form stellar black holes. The stars that eventually become supernovae (or hypernovae) don't have the mass requird for an intermediate-mass black hole. It is not yet entirely clear how intermediate-mass black holes or supermassive black holes form; perhaps they start as a stellar-mass black hole and gather more mass, or perhaps a larger object, such as a gas cloud, somehow collapses directly into a gigantic black hole.


What is a sellar black hole?

Perhaps you mean stellar black hole. Stellar means related to a star, so that refers to a black hole that results from the collapse of a star. Actually that's the ONLY confirmed way to create a black hole (other ways are a bit hypothetical), but the term is also used to refer to a black hole which has approximately the mass of a star - to distinguish it from the supermassive galactic black holes in the center of most galaxies, as well as the intermediate-mass black holes found in star clusters.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.

What happens in a black hole that makes the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true?

In a black hole, gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This means that whatever goes into a black hole is trapped inside forever, making the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true.


Is the super massive black hole the largest black hole?

Black hole is a location in space that possesses so much gravity, nothing can escape from its pull. Yes, Super massive black hole is the largest black hole.


Can you make a black hole inside a black hole?

We know nothing about the conditions within a black hole, but it seems unlikely that a black hole could exist within a black hole, or even if this concept would have any meaning at all.


Where will you go if you fall in to a black hole?

Into the black hole's singularity.


What is at the center of the black hole?

A singularity is at the centre of a black hole.
