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…

Detection of intrinsic source structure at ~3 Schwarzschild radii with Millimeter-VLBI observations of SAGITTARIUS A*

Ru-Sen Lu, Thomas P. Krichbaum, Alan L. Roy +53

We report results from very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center, Sgr A*, at 1.3 mm (230 GHz). The observations w…

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…

Resolved Magnetic-Field Structure and Variability Near the Event Horizon of Sagittarius A*

Michael D. Johnson, Vincent L. Fish, Sheperd S. Doeleman +45

Near a black hole, differential rotation of a magnetized accretion disk is thought to produce an instability that amplifies weak magnetic fields, driving accretion and outflow. The…

230 GHz VLBI observations of M87: event-horizon-scale structure at the enhanced very-high-energy -ray state in 2012

Kazunori Akiyama, Ru-Sen Lu, Vincent L. Fish +45

We report on 230 GHz (1.3 mm) VLBI observations of M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope using antennas on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, Mt. Graham in Arizona and Cedar Flat in California. F…

First 230 GHz VLBI Fringes on 3C 279 using the APEX Telescope

J. Wagner, A. L. Roy, T. P. Krichbaum +52

We report about a 230 GHz very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) fringe finder observation of blazar 3C 279 with the APEX telescope in Chile, the phased submillimeter array (SMA)…
