Final parsec evolution in the presence of intermediate mass black holes

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2023-12-20 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

In this short note, we draw attention to the possibility that, under favorable conditions, the final parsec problem could be alleviated by the presence of a moderate population of intermediate mass black holes in the centers of merged galaxies.
