Good question. I wonder if the radiation would be too small/fast moving to detect. Or perhaps it will be a "simple" matter of applying the same kinds of gravitational distortion measurements that are used to "detect" large blackholes in space on a much smaller scale (no idea if there will be enough precission in the measurements for that).
