The Black Hole Explorer: Photon Ring Science, Detection and Shape Measurement

Alexandru Lupsasca, Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño, Daniel C. M. Palumbo +6

General relativity predicts that black hole images ought to display a bright, thin (and as-of-yet-unresolved) ring. This "photon ring" is produced by photons that explore the stron…
