Gravitational Test Beyond the First Post-Newtonian Order with the Shadow of the M87 Black Hole
Dimitrios Psaltis, Lia Medeiros, Pierre Christian +185
The 2017 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of the central source in M87 have led to the first measurement of the size of a black-hole shadow. This observation offers a new…
Monitoring the Morphology of M87* in 2009-2017 with the Event Horizon Telescope
Maciek Wielgus, Kazunori Akiyama, Lindy Blackburn +26
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has recently delivered the first resolved images of M87*, the supermassive black hole in the center of the M87 galaxy. These images were produced…
Markov Chains for Horizons (MARCH). I. Identifying Biases in Fitting Theoretical Models to Event Horizon Telescope Observations
Dimitrios Psaltis, Feryal Ozel, Lia Medeiros +7
We introduce a new Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm with parallel tempering for fitting theoretical models of horizon-scale images of black holes to the interferometric da…
Discretization and Filtering Effects on Black Hole Images Obtained with the Event Horizon Telescope
Dimitrios Psaltis, Lia Medeiros, Tod R. Lauer +2
Interferometers, such as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), do not directly observe the images of sources but rather measure their Fourier components at discrete spatial frequencie…
SYMBA: An end-to-end VLBI synthetic data generation pipeline
F. Roelofs, M. Janssen, I. Natarajan +203
Realistic synthetic observations of theoretical source models are essential for our understanding of real observational data. In using synthetic data, one can verify the extent to…
