Reply to comment by zoinkability in ALMA confirmation of an obscured hyperluminous radio-loud AGN at z = 6.853 associated with a dusty starburst in the 1.5 deg2 COSMOS field | Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society by aivonette

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
