F. Aros studies globular clusters\u2014dense, ancient groups of stars orbiting galaxies like our Milky Way\u2014using computer models and telescope data to understand how the stars within them move. A major focus is detecting and measuring black holes hidden in these clusters, including intermediate-mass black holes and the overall fraction of black-hole mass. Recent work uses observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to map the motions and populations of stars in the cluster 47 Tucanae.
