Supermassive Black Hole Spin Constraints from Polarimetry in an Equatorial Disk Model

Daniel C. M. Palumbo

The Event Horizon Telescope has released polarized images of the supermassive black holes Messier 87* (M87*) and Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) accretion disks. As more images are produce…

Machine- and deep-learning-driven angular momentum inference from BHEX observations of the photon ring

Joseph R. Farah, Jordy Davelaar, Daniel Palumbo +2

The photon ring is an important probe of black hole (BH) properties and will be resolved by the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) for the first time. However, extraction of black ho…

Photon ring polarimetry with next-generation black hole imaging I. M87*

Aditya Tamar, Daniel C. M. Palumbo

The near-horizon region of a black hole impacts linear (LP) and circular polarization (CP) through strong lensing of photons, adding large-scale symmetries and anti-symmetries to t…

Multi-messenger Probes of Supermassive Black Hole Spin Evolution

Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan, Ramesh Narayan +1

Using the semi-analytic model Serotina, we investigate the cosmic spin evolution of supermassive black holes incorporating recent results from general relativistic magnetohydrodyna…

Prospects for the Detection of the Sgr A* Photon Ring with next-generation Event Horizon Telescope Polarimetry

Kaitlyn M. Shavelle, Daniel C. M. Palumbo

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has imaged two supermassive black holes, Messier 87* (M87*) and Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), using very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI). The theor…
