Description

From our understanding, supermassive black holes are the heaviest punctual objects in the universe. However, because of their condition, they are reluctant to be properly weighted and our last generation scales are still very inaccurate. In this talk, I contextualize the importance of properly weighing them and present our latest efforts oriented to characterize and calibrate the weighing scales of greedy supermassive holes according to the relative inclination, distance and interfering clouds between the weigher and the targeted supermassive black holes.
