Introduction to IMRIs <strong>and</strong> EMRIs<br />
However, <strong>the</strong>re are several claims in <strong>the</strong> literature about <strong>the</strong><br />
presence <strong>of</strong> IMBHs in several systems, e.g.:<br />
S.A. Farrell, N.A. Webb, D. Barret, O. Godet & J.M. Rodrigues An intermediate-mass black<br />
hole <strong>of</strong> over 500 solar masses in <strong>the</strong> galaxy ESO 243-49, Nature 460, 73-75 (2 July 2009)<br />
Discovery <strong>of</strong> a variable ULX in <strong>the</strong> edge-on spiral galaxy ESO<br />
243–49. The extreme luminosity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> source (HLX-1) is<br />
consistent with <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> an IMBH <strong>of</strong> more than 500<br />
solar masses<br />
