The science case and challenges of space-borne sub-millimeter interferometry

Leonid I. Gurvits, Zsolt Paragi, Ricardo I. Amils +51

Ultra-high angular resolution in astronomy has always been an important vehicle for making fundamental discoveries. Recent results in direct imaging of the vicinity of the supermas…

Constraints on black-hole charges with the 2017 EHT observations of M87*

Prashant Kocherlakota, Luciano Rezzolla, Heino Falcke +234

Our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects has recently improved thanks to the measurements made by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We use here the M8…

The Polarized Image of a Synchrotron Emitting Ring of Gas Orbiting a Black Hole

Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Michael D. Johnson +237

Synchrotron radiation from hot gas near a black hole results in a polarized image. The image polarization is determined by effects including the orientation of the magnetic field i…

Polarimetric properties of Event Horizon Telescope targets from ALMA

Ciriaco Goddi, Ivan Marti-Vidal, Hugo Messias +31

We present the results from a full polarization study carried out with ALMA during the first VLBI campaign, which was conducted in Apr 2017 in the 3mm and 1.3mm bands, in con…
