TL;DR
This paper reviews possible formation scenarios for intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters and presents simulation results on related astrophysical events, highlighting their low occurrence rates and observational challenges.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of IMBH formation mechanisms and analyzes simulation data on event rates related to IMBHs in globular clusters.
Findings
Event rates for IMBH-related phenomena are very low.
Simulations cover about 2000 models of globular clusters.
Observation of these events remains highly improbable.
Abstract
We very briefly discuss proposed in the literature possible scenarios for intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) formation in globular clusters. We also discuss the results of the MOCCA simulations of about 2000 models (BigSurvey) regarding the distribution of events connected with electromagnetic and gravitational radiations, namely: mass transfer on IMBH, collisions and mergers with IMBH and mergers with IMBH due to gravitational radiation. The rates of these events are very small, so their observation is very improbable.
