Event Horizon Telescope observations of the jet launching and collimation in Centaurus A
Michael Janssen, Heino Falcke, Matthias Kadler +236
Very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of active galactic nuclei at millimeter wavelengths have the power to reveal the launching and initial collimation region of e…
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…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VIII. Magnetic Field Structure near The Event Horizon
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations at 230 GHz have now imaged polarized emission around the supermassive black hole in M87 on event-horizon scales. This polarized synchrotr…
Polarized Image of Equatorial Emission in the Kerr Geometry
Zachary Gelles, Elizabeth Himwich, Daniel C. M. Palumbo +1
We develop a simple toy model for polarized images of synchrotron emission from an equatorial source around a Kerr black hole by using a semi-analytic solution of the null geodesic…
The Role of Adaptive Ray Tracing in Analyzing Black Hole Structure
Z. Gelles, B. S. Prather, D. C. M. Palumbo +3
The recent advent of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has made direct imaging of supermassive black holes a reality. Simulated images of black holes produced via general relativis…
