First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results and the Role of ALMA
Ciriaco Goddi, Geoff Crew, Violette Impellizzeri +41
In April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration revealed the first image of the candidate super-massive black hole (SMBH) at the centre of the giant elliptical galax…
Closure statistics in interferometric data
Lindy Blackburn, Dominic W. Pesce, Michael D. Johnson +4
Interferometric visibilities, reflecting the complex correlations between signals recorded at antennas in an interferometric array, carry information about the angular structure of…
Puffy accretion disks: sub-Eddington, optically thick, and stable
Debora Lančová, David Abarca, Włodek Kluźniak +6
We report on a new class of solutions of black hole accretion disks that we have found through three-dimensional, global, radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations in general relat…
Extremely long baseline interferometry with Origins Space Telescope
Dominic W. Pesce, Kari Haworth, Gary J. Melnick +8
Operating 1.5 million km from Earth at the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, the Origins Space Telescope equipped with a slightly modified version of its HERO heterodyne instrument coul…
Studying black holes on horizon scales with space-VLBI
Kari Haworth, Michael D. Johnson, Dominic W. Pesce +25
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) recently produced the first horizon-scale image of a supermassive black hole. Expanding the array to include a 3-meter space telescope operating a…
Studying Black Holes on Horizon Scales with VLBI Ground Arrays
Lindy Blackburn, Sheperd Doeleman, Jason Dexter +35
High-resolution imaging of supermassive black holes is now possible, with new applications to testing general relativity and horizon-scale accretion and relativistic jet formation…
Optically thin outbursts of rotating neutron stars can not be spherical
Maciek Wielgus
We investigate three-dimensional relativistic trajectories of test particles in the spacetime of a slowly rotating compact star, under the combined influence of gravity and a stron…
Universal Interferometric Signatures of a Black Hole's Photon Ring
Michael D. Johnson, Alexandru Lupsasca, Andrew Strominger +14
The Event Horizon Telescope image of the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87 is dominated by a bright, unresolved ring. General relativity predicts that embedded within this…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI. The Shadow and Mass of the Central Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present measurements of the properties of the central radio source in M87 using Event Horizon Telescope data obtained during the 2017 campaign. We develop and fit geometric cres…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. V. Physical Origin of the Asymmetric Ring
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has mapped the central compact radio source of the elliptical galaxy M87 at 1.3 mm with unprecedented angular resolution. Here we consider the phy…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IV. Imaging the Central Supermassive Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the first Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of M87, using observations from April 2017 at 1.3 mm wavelength. These images show a prominent ring with a diameter of ~40…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. III. Data Processing and Calibration
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the calibration and reduction of Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) 1.3mm radio wavelength observations of the supermassive black hole candidate at the center of the radio ga…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. II. Array and Instrumentation
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that comprises millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength telescopes separated by distances comp…
rPICARD: A CASA-based Calibration Pipeline for VLBI Data
M. Janssen, C. Goddi, H. Falcke +5
Currently, HOPS and AIPS are the primary choices for the time-consuming process of (millimeter) Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data calibration. However, for a full end-t…
