A significant fraction of the youngest stars ($\\sim4-7$ Myr) reside in a thin stellar disk with puzzling properties; the disk appears to be warped, shows asymmetries, and contains one or more clumpy structures (e.g. IRS 13). Models explaining the clumping invoked the existence of an intermediate-mass BH of $10^{3}-10^{4}$ M$_{\\odot}$, but no kinematic evidence for such a BH has been found. Here we use extended $N$-body simulations and hybrid self-consistent field metho"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1802.00012","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
