Why to study IMBHs? IMBHs are the connection between SMBHs and stellar BHs IMBHs are fundamental to probe models of SMBH seeds IMBHs are the most active population of BHs in the local universe (dowinsizing) IMBHs seem to be in an early stage of evolution, therefore they can help on understanding how BHs grow IMBHs seem to reside in young galaxies (starbursts), therefore they are important to recognize the nature of the star formation – AGN relation IMBHs seem to prefer spiral galaxies with bars or pseudobulges, therefore they might probe a different type of BH fueling IMBHs show signatures that might allow to probe the metal enrichment of the BLR in AGNs
