Formation of Accretion Disks around Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Ultra Compact Dwarf Galaxies and Nuclear Stellar Clusters

Abstract Recent observations have found many ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) that contain massive black holes (MBHs) typically consisting of 10% − 15% of their total mass, with some as high as 40%. However, whether UCDs initially started with MBHs or grew from intermediate-ma...
