Working the case of the mysterious supermassive black holes Supermassive black holes have today at least a million times the mass of our Sun, but we know that they were born small in the infancy of the Universe: the mystery is how. This project looks at the lighter ones— those that grew less than the others — to more directly find clues on their origin. I exploit the light coming from the disrupted stars, that these baby giants rapaciously eat, combining state of the art simulations and the wealth of current data.
