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…
Dynamic Black-hole Emission Tomography with Physics-informed Neural Fields
Berthy T. Feng, Andrew A. Chael, David Bromley +3
With the success of static black-hole imaging, the next frontier is the dynamic and 3D imaging of black holes. Recovering the dynamic 3D gas near a black hole would reveal previous…
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…
Black hole mimickers: from theory to observation
Cosimo Bambi, Ramy Brustein, Vitor Cardoso +16
The black hole paradigm, while remarkably successful, raises fundamental questions-both classical and quantum-about the nature of spacetime, horizons, and singularities. Black hole…
Limb-Brightened Jet in M87 from Anisotropic Nonthermal Electrons
Yuh Tsunetoe, Dominic W. Pesce, Ramesh Narayan +5
Very long baseline interferometry observations reveal that relativistic jets like the one in M87 have a limb-brightened, double-edged structure. Analytic and numerical models strug…
Signatures of Black Hole Spin and Plasma Acceleration in Jet Polarimetry
Zachary Gelles, Andrew Chael, Eliot Quataert
We study the polarization of black hole jets on scales of and show that large spatial swings in the polarization occur at three characteristic distances from the…
