Astronomers measure mass of smallest black hole in a galactic nucleus

A group led by astronomers from Ohio State University and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have measured the mass of a unique black hole, and determined that it is the smallest found so far.
Early results indicate that the black hole weighs in at less than a million times the mass of our sun – which would make it as much as 100 times smaller than others of its type.
