Reference Array and Design Consideration for the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope
Sheperd S. Doeleman, John Barrett, Lindy Blackburn +26
We describe the process to design, architect, and implement a transformative enhancement of the Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT). This program - the next-generation Event Horizon Te…
Key Science Goals for the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Lindy Blackburn +42
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has led to the first images of a supermassive black hole, revealing the central compact objects in the elliptical galaxy M87 and the Milky Way. Pr…
First frequency phase transfer from the 3 mm to the 1 mm band on an Earth-sized baseline
Sara Issaoun, Dominic W. Pesce, MarÃa J. Rioja +33
Frequency Phase Transfer (FPT) is a technique designed to increase coherence and sensitivity in radio interferometry by making use of the non-dispersive nature of the troposphere t…
Enabling Transformational ngEHT Science via the Inclusion of 86 GHz Capabilities
Sara Issaoun, Dominic W. Pesce, Freek Roelofs +13
We present a case for significantly enhancing the utility and efficiency of the ngEHT by incorporating an additional 86 GHz observing band. In contrast to 230 or 345 GHz, weather c…
