Description

Binary supermassive black holes located in galactic nuclei produce gravitational waves with frequencies in the nano-Hz range, but their detection through observations remains elusive. Reverberation mapping (RM) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the VLT interferometer are powerful tools that can reveal temporal and spatial resolution signatures of binary black holes. Here we present key signatures obtained through RM and GRAVITY observations.
