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…
A coupled guiding center-Boris particle pusher for magnetized plasmas in compact-object magnetospheres
Fabio Bacchini, Bart Ripperda, Alexander A. Philippov +1
We present a novel numerical scheme for simulating the motion of relativistic charged particles in magnetospheres of compact objects, typically filled with highly magnetized collis…
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…
Magnetic Reconnection and Hot Spot Formation in Black Hole Accretion Disks
Bart Ripperda, Fabio Bacchini, Alexander Philippov
Hot spots, or plasmoids, forming due to magnetic reconnection in current sheets, are conjectured to power frequent X-ray and near-infrared flares from Sgr A*, the black hole in the…
