How Many Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Are Detectable through Tracking Relative Motions by (Sub)millimeter Very Long Baseline Interferometry?

The (sub)millimeter wavelengths (86–690 GHz) very long baseline interferometry will provide ∼5–40 μ as angular resolution, ∼10 mJy baseline sensitivity, and ∼1 μ as yr ^−1 proper-motion precision, which can directly detect supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) systems by imaging the two visible sou...
