Radio astronomer here! The paper is arguing that there is an incredibly supermassive black hole over a trillion times the mass of the sun that already existed ~1 billion years after the Big Bang. However it is not a direct measurement of the black hole because there is a lot of dust obscuring it, so it’s instead an inferred mass. Cheers

I read it but I’m a dumb dumb. I think a radio telescope found a supermassive black hole and quasar source from a really big early forming galaxy?
