Overmassive black holes at cosmic noon: linking the local and the high-redshift Universe
Mar Mezcua, Fabio Pacucci, Hyewon Suh +2
We report for the first time a sample of 12 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) hosted by low-mass galaxies at cosmic noon, i.e., in a redshift range consistent with the peak of star…
The Host Galaxy of a Dormant, Overmassive Black Hole at May Be Restarting Star Formation
Fabio Pacucci, Abraham Loeb, Ignas Juodžbalis
JWST is discovering a large population of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that are overmassive with respect to the stellar content of their hosts. A previous study developed…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IX. Detection of Near-horizon Circular Polarization
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations have revealed a bright ring of emission around the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy. EHT images in linear polariza…
Polarimetric Geometric Modeling for mm-VLBI Observations of Black Holes
Freek Roelofs, Michael D. Johnson, Andrew Chael +4
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a millimeter very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that has imaged the apparent shadows of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sagit…
First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI: Testing the Black Hole Metric
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies…
First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. III: Imaging of the Galactic Center Supermassive Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the first event-horizon-scale images and spatiotemporal analysis of Sgr A* taken with the Event Horizon Telescope in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. Imaging of Sgr…
