As they are evaporating, black holes are emitting radiations called Hawking radiations. Our goal is to determine at which distance it is possible to measure those radiations with current telescopes. Being capable of measuring those radiations would mean that we can use them as standard candles i.e. we could use it as distance indicator. To do so, we are first going to compute the different characteristics of a black hole such as its energy peak, temperature, flux and lifetime. Knowing that, we will be able to describe how, theoretically, we could use black holes as standard candles. Finally, we will take the Fermi-LAT telescope as an example of what we can observe in practice and at which distance.
