As supermassive black holes go, it’s not as large as our own, but it still contains 1 million to 50 million times the mass of the Sun.
But there are stellar black holes, the black holes they have found in the center of globular clusters of stars (which I think they are classifying as the Intermediate), the MBH's in Dwarfs, and then the SMBH's found in the cores of Galaxies.

It has not been accepted yet that there are MBH's an all Dwarfs, or even ALL galaxies, but as the article states, this may well be the case.

I Personally think that the Nuker Team is on the right track, as they have determined that Black Hole Birth and the speed of stars and gas in the outer rims of spirals is very intimately related.
