Just in the news: another massive black hole discovered in or near our galactic core. Not quite as big as Sagittarius A*, but massive enough to be proof of a new class.

I couldn't access the paper, so I didn't see if they mention this: how does this affect the calculated mass of dark matter for the Milky Way?
