Locating the missing large-scale emission in the jet of M87* with short EHT baselines
Boris Georgiev, Paul Tiede, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg +280
In Very-Long Baseline Interferometric arrays, nearly co-located stations probe the largest scales and typically cannot resolve the observed source. In the absence of large-scale st…
