Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is a fundamental technique that combines signals from telescopes separated by thousands of kilometres to obtain some of the highest-resolut…
A Jet from a Nearly Dormant Black Hole
Xiaopeng Cheng, Hai Yang, Jun Yang +11
Most galaxies host supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that remain weakly accreting or dormant for much of their lifetimes. At the lowest accretion rates, these systems may represent…
Transverse Oscillations and Wave Propagation in the Magnetically Dominated M87 Jet

Motoki Kino, Masahiro Nagashima, Hyunwook Ro +3
Galaxy mergers, each hosting a supermassive black hole (SMBH), are thought to form SMBH binaries. Motivated by recent observations from the East Asian VLBI Network (EAVN) showing p…
Discovery of Limb Brightening in the Parsec-scale Jet of NGC 315 through Global Very Long Baseline Interferometry Observations and Its Implications for Jet Models

The nearby radio galaxy M87 offers a unique opportunity to explore the connections between the central supermassive black hole and relativistic jets. Previous studies of the inner…
The Past and Future of East Asia to Italy: Nearly Global VLBI
Gabriele Giovannini, Yuzhu Cui, Kazuhiro Hada +29
We present here the East Asia to Italy Nearly Global VLBI (EATING VLBI) project. How this project started and the evolution of the international collaboration between Korean, Japan…
Transverse Oscillations of the M87 Jet Revealed by KaVA Observations
Hyunwook Ro, Kunwoo Yi, Yuzhu Cui +6
Recent VLBI monitoring has found transverse motions of the M87 jet. However, due to the limited cadence of previous observations, details of the transverse motion have not been ful…
Super-Resolved Image of M87 Observed with East Asian VLBI Network
Fumie Tazaki, Yuzhu Cui, Kazuhiro Hada +11
Obtaining high-resolution images at centimeter-or-longer wavelengths is vital for understanding the physics of jets. We reconstructed images from the M87 22 GHz data observed with…
Spectral analysis of a parsec-scale jet in M87: Observational constraint on the magnetic field strengths in the jet
