The Black Hole Explorer: Instrument System Overview
Daniel P. Marrone, Janice Houston, Kazunori Akiyama +14
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a space very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission concept that is currently under development. BHEX will study supermassive black holes at…
The Black Hole Explorer: Motivation and Vision
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Rebecca Baturin +65
We present the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a mission that will produce the sharpest images in the history of astronomy by extending submillimeter Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry…
The Black Hole Explorer: Operating a Hybrid Observatory
Sara Issaoun, Kim Alonso, Kazunori Akiyama +16
We present a baseline science operations plan for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a space mission concept aiming to confirm the existence of the predicted sharp ``photon ring" resu…
Analytic relations assessing the impact of precursor knowledge and key mission parameters on direct imaging survey yield
Peter Plavchan, John E. Berberian, Stephen R Kane +3
The Habitable Worlds Observatory will attempt to image Earth-sized planets in Habitable Zone orbits around nearby Sun-like stars. In this work we explore approximate analytic yield…
