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…
Full-polarization millimeter wavelength variability of Sagittarius A* during the 2018 EHT campaign
Ezequiel Albentosa-Ruiz, Jasmin E. Washington, Nicola Marchili +272
Sagittarius A* (Srg A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, provides a unique laboratory to study accretion dynamics and plasma processes near the event ho…
EuroHPC SPACE CoE: Redesigning Scalable Parallel Astrophysical Codes for Exascale
Nitin Shukla, Alessandro Romeo, Caterina Caravita +36
High Performance Computing (HPC) based simulations are crucial in Astrophysics and Cosmology (A&C), helping scientists investigate and understand complex astrophysical phenomena. T…
Supermassive black-hole imaging with a self-consistent electron-temperature prescription
Alejandro Cruz-Osorio, Claudio Meringolo, Christian M. Fromm +5
The recent 230 GHz observations by the Event Horizon Telescope have resolved the innermost structure of the M87 galaxy, revealing a ring-like feature consistent with thermal synchr…
Turbulence and Magnetic Reconnection in Relativistic Multispecies Plasmas
Mario Imbrogno, Claudio Meringolo, Alejandro Cruz-Osorio +3
Simulations of relativistic plasmas traditionally focus on the dynamics of two-species mixtures of charged particles under the influence of external magnetic fields and those gener…
Probing jet base emission of M87* with the 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations
Saurabh, Hendrik Müller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg +282
We investigate the presence and spatial characteristics of the jet base emission in M87* at 230 GHz, enabled by the enhanced uv coverage in the 2021 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) o…
