Measuring the Angular Momentum of Supermassive Black Holes

Measuring the spin distribution of supermassive black holes is of critical importance for understanding how these black holes and their host galaxies form and evolve over time, yet this type of study is only in its infancy.� This brief describes how astronomers measure spin in supermassive black hol...
