“Multi-wavelength Probes of Black Hole Variability”

I will discuss the power of multi-wavelength observations of variable black holes (supermassive and stellar mass systems) to probe their growth and evolution. I will touch on our Milky Way's black hole Sgr A*, the Virgo cluster's M87, changing-look quasars, and the multitude of systems now being discovered by LIGO/Virgo. I will also briefly explore how we can continue to push this frontier with a next generation of observatories.
