Research Proposals

Thirteen working-draft observational programs targeting Omega Centauri's candidate intermediate-mass black hole — across neutrino, gamma-ray, radio, infrared, gravitational-wave, astrometric, and time-domain channels. Each proposal specifies a falsification framework: an observable that would rule out the OCS hypothesis, not just support it.

  • ZTF · Rubin/LSSTML Off-Nuclear TDE Search for Cluster IMBHs

    Host-agnostic tidal-disruption classifier adapted from the ZTF search that found TDE 2025abcr, retuned one black-hole-mass rung down and pointed at globular clusters and stripped nuclei. A white-dwarf-disruption flag doubles as a mass-range-defining signature below ~10⁵ M☉.
