Persistent Asymmetric Structure of Sagittarius A* on Event Horizon Scales

Vincent L. Fish, Michael D. Johnson, Sheperd S. Doeleman +69

The Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is a prime observing target for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which can resolve the 1.3 mm emission from this source on…

Jet Launching Structure Resolved Near the Supermassive Black Hole in M87

Sheperd S. Doeleman, Vincent L. Fish, David E. Schenck +30

Approximately 10% of active galactic nuclei exhibit relativistic jets, which are powered by accretion of matter onto super massive black holes. While the measured width profiles of…

Demonstration of a broadband-RF VLBI system at 16 Gbps data rate per station

Alan R. Whitney, Christopher J. Beaudoin, Roger J. Cappallo +12

The recent development of a relatively inexpensive 16-Gbps data-recording system based on commercial off-the-shelf technology and open-source software, along with parallel developm…

1.3 mm Wavelength VLBI of Sagittarius A*: Detection of Time-Variable Emission on Event Horizon Scales

Vincent L. Fish, Sheperd S. Doeleman, Christopher Beaudoin +27

Sagittarius A*, the ~4 x 10^6 solar mass black hole candidate at the Galactic Center, can be studied on Schwarzschild radius scales with (sub)millimeter wavelength Very Long Baseli…

Event-horizon-scale structure in the supermassive black hole candidate at the Galactic Centre

Sheperd Doeleman, Jonathan Weintroub, Alan E. E. Rogers +25

The cores of most galaxies are thought to harbour supermassive black holes, which power galactic nuclei by converting the gravitational energy of accreting matter into radiation (r…

2mm Wavelength VLBI of SiO Masers and AGN

S. Doeleman, R. Phillips, A. Rogers +21

In April 2002 an array of antennas operating at 129GHz successfully detected VLBI fringes on both continuum AGN and SiO maser sources. The 129GHz fringes on maser sources represent…
