Resolving Nearby Supermassive Black Holes with the Black Hole Explorer
Yuto Akiyama, Kazunori Akiyama, Dominic W. Pesce +12
Recent Event Horizon Telescope results have demonstrated unique and transformative science in gravitational physics and black hole astrophysics enabled by event-horizon-scale imagi…
Heuristic Lookahead Distillation Protocol Search
Matthew Barber, Stefano Pirandola
Bipartite qubit entanglement distillation is the process of converting noisy ebits into pure ebits using only local operations and classical communication. This is a core operation…
Dynamics and geometry of the inner sub-parsec-scale jet in 3C 279 observed with the Event Horizon Telescope
Hendrik Mueller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Ai-Ling Zeng +275
The 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations resolve the innermost jet region of the blazar 3C279 with unprecedented detail. The reconstructed images consistently reveal a compact…
Broadband multiwavelength properties of the archetypal blazar 3C 279 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope campaign
G. Principe, J. C. Algaba, E. Aviano +529
The archetypal blazar 3C 279 hosts a prominent relativistic jet and exhibits strong broadband variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. In April 2017, the Event Horizon Tele…
The Sound of the Universe: A Resonant Gravitational Instability Driven by Baryon-Dark Matter Relative Drift
Mohamad Shalaby, Avery Broderick
Dark matter and baryons acquire a relative velocity after decoupling in the early Universe. Baryons are gravitationally unstable only above their Jeans scale, while cold dark matte…
Ring Asymmetry and Spin in M87*
Vadim Bernshteyn, Nicholas S. Conroy, Michi Bauböck +263
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of the supermassive black hole M87* depict an asymmetric ring of emission. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) models of M87* and…
