Scientific paper

Globular clusters are the smallest gravitationally bound stellar systems in the universe. There has long been an interest in detecting black holes in globular clusters and studying its implications. Accreting X-ray luminous systems can provide some of the most direct evidence of black holes in globular clusters. We present the results of our ongoing multiwavelength search for black holes in the globular cluster systems of nearby elliptical and S0 galaxies. We have established the presence of black holes in multiple extragalactic globular clusters through X-ray variability and luminosity. We discuss the implications of our results on the formation and retention of black holes in clusters.
