A Young Massive Stellar Population Around the Intermediate Mass Black Hole ESO 243-49 HLX-1

We present Hubble Space Telescope and simultaneous Swift X-ray telescope observations of the strongest candidate intermediate mass black hole ESO 243-49 HLX-1. Fitting the spectral energy distribution from X-ray to near-infrared wavelengths showed that the broadband spectrum is not consistent with s...
