First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. III: Imaging of the Galactic Center Supermassive Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

We present the first event-horizon-scale images and spatiotemporal analysis of Sgr A* taken with the Event Horizon Telescope in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. Imaging of Sgr…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole in the Center of the Milky Way

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

We present the first Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A), the Galactic center source associated with a supermassive black hole. These observati…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. IV. Variability, Morphology, and Black Hole Mass

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

In this paper we quantify the temporal variability and image morphology of the horizon-scale emission from Sgr A*, as observed by the EHT in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. W…

The Event Horizon Telescope Image of the Quasar NRAO 530

Svetlana Jorstad, Maciek Wielgus, Rocco Lico +27

We report on the observations of the quasar NRAO 530 with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) on 2017 April 5-7, when NRAO 530 was used as a calibrator for the EHT observations of Sa…

The Variability of the Black-Hole Image in M87 at the Dynamical Time Scale

Kaushik Satapathy, Dimitrios Psaltis, Feryal Ozel +235

The black-hole images obtained with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) are expected to be variable at the dynamical timescale near their horizons. For the black hole at the center o…

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. VII. Polarization of the Ring

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

In 2017 April, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observed the near-horizon region around the supermassive black hole at the core of the M87 galaxy. These 1.3 mm wavelength observat…
