Benjamin Dean Lecture: Tiny But Powerful: The Smallest Supermassive Black Holes

Supermassive black holes, with masses of millions to billions of times that of our own Sun, are found lurking at the centers of most nearby large galaxies. But which came first, the black hole or the galaxy? Dr. Greene will talk about the search for the smallest supermassive black holes today, and what they teach us about the first black holes.

Speaker: Dr. Jenny Greene, Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University
