This is a cool new result. Astronomers went looking for a giant black hole in the center of a globular cluster (a clump of very old stars). Instead, they found what appears to be a SWARM of smaller black holes -- the kind made when massive stars die.https://esahubble.org/news/heic2103/?lang …

Gotcha. Still, no more likely a scenario with multiple small black holes than with just multiple main sequence stars in the vicinity of a single stellar mass black hole.

The mass for the SMBHs has to come from somewhere, and in the absence of IMBHs my first guess would be to figure out if a cascade like that is possible, and if the other stars in the area could potentially get pulled in from having their orbits altered by the shift in gravity.

I could also be talking out my ass! I’m not an astrophysicist, that’s why I asked one :)
