Astrophysicists use echoes of light to illuminate black holes
https://phys.org/news/2024-11-astrophysicists-echoes-illuminate-black-holes.html
A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to search for black hole light echoes. Their novel method, which will make it easier for the mass and the spin of black holes to be measured, represents a major step forward, since it operates independently of many of the other ways in which scientists have probed these parameters in the past.
