Release No.: 03-09: Cool X-Ray Disk Points To New Type Of Black Hole
For Release: 10:00 AM EST, Monday, March 24, 2003

In this artist's concept, an intermediate-mass black hole feeds from a star that has wandered too close. Measurements by Dr. Jon Miller and colleagues have provided more evidence supporting the existence of black holes with masses of 100 to 500 Suns. (Credit: David A.
