 ====== Ideas for additional challenges ======
+===== Weighing dark remnants using luminous stars =====
+Explore how/if the mass function of dark remnants can be constrained from a limited set of observables, using mock data from N-body simulations. This could be part of Miklos’ project on Challenge 2. Provided that this works, we can then consider a direct application to real data (e.g. Gaia-ESO survey - some of us are members of the consortium).
+===== Dark remnants & IMBH =====
+Laura is applying her discrete Jeans modelling method to snapshots of N-body models that contain stellar-mass black holes. The idea is check if a concentration of dark remnants near the centre can be mistaken for an intermediate-mass black hole.
 ===== Pal 5 model from Andreas Kuepper in streams section =====
