The angular momentum of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) is a vitally important quantity in astrophysics. Measuring the spins of SMBHs in active galactic nuclei (AGN) can inform us about the relative role of gas accretion vs. mergers in recent epochs of the life of the host galaxy and its AGN. Black hole spin is also thought to play a pivotal role in triggering relativistic jets, enabling...
