Resolved Magnetic-Field Structure and Variability Near the Event Horizon of Sagittarius A*

Michael D. Johnson, Vincent L. Fish, Sheperd S. Doeleman +45

Near a black hole, differential rotation of a magnetized accretion disk is thought to produce an instability that amplifies weak magnetic fields, driving accretion and outflow. The…
