Locating Supermassive Black Holes Through Pulsar Timing Array Measurements

Watch a 58-minute lecture from the ICTP-SAIFR Program on "Fundamental Physics meets Current and Future Facilities in Cosmology" where Gabriela Sato-Polito from the Institute for Advanced Study explores the location and detection of supermassive black holes using Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs). Delve into cutting-edge astrophysical research that investigates how these sophisticated observational tools are employed to measure and locate some of the universe's most massive objects, presented as part of the December 2024 program series on fundamental physics and cosmology.
