Supermassive Black Holes: From Jets to the Event Horizon - a podcast by Michael Haack

Highest resolution Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations will
probably soon tell us more about the supermassive black hole atthe Galactic Centre (Sgr A*) and the cores of active galactic nuclei
(AGN). It might also help to clarify the long-standing questionwhether the central massive objects in AGN are instead close pairs
of black holes. Mergers of supermassive black hole pairs would providethe strongest gravitational wave signals. I will present examples
of how we identify potential close binary black hole candidatesbased on the combined analysis of high resolution radio interferometric
(VLBI) observations and multi- wavelength data. I will alsoprovide an outlook on the scientific prospects with regard to future
EHT-observations.
