What can we learn from the Spin of a Black Hole Example: Galaxy Evolution Steady Growth Galaxy Mergers P(a) 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 -1 Bardeen (1970) Volonteri et al. (2005) King et al.

What can we learn from the Spin of a Black Hole Example: Jet Formation Jet-Formation is connected in most models to the BH spin (e.g., Blandford & Znajek, 1977) Jet Power Spin Garofalo et al. (2010): most powerful jets from retrograde (a = −1) BHs → Measuring Jet-Power vs. Spin relation constrains Jet Models
