Black Hole Explorer Mission Development in Japan
Kazunori Akiyama, Mareki Honma, Akihiro Doi +21
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a next-generation space very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission concept that will extend existing ground-based millimeter/submillimeter V…
Toward Optimisation of a Sub-Terahertz Spaceborne VLBI Mission
Ben Hudson, Leonid I. Gurvits, Daniel Palumbo +2
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) provides the finest angular resolution of all astronomical observation techniques. However, observations with Earth-based instruments are a…
SQUIDs for detection of potential dark matter candidates
Siddarth Sivakumar, Manan Agarwal, Hannah Rana
Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) are extremely sensitive magnetic flux sensors which render them useful in a wide array of instrumentation. SQUIDs are often pa…
The Black Hole Explorer: Instrument System Overview
Daniel P. Marrone, Janice Houston, Kazunori Akiyama +14
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a space very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission concept that is currently under development. BHEX will study supermassive black holes at…
The Black Hole Explorer Cryocooling Instrument
Hannah Rana, Kazunori Akiyama, Edgar Canavan +10
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a space-based very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission aimed at precision black hole measurements, detecting the photon ring around black…
The Black Hole Explorer: Motivation and Vision
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Rebecca Baturin +65
We present the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a mission that will produce the sharpest images in the history of astronomy by extending submillimeter Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry…
Receivers for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) Mission
C. Edward Tong, Kazunori Akiyama, Paul Grimes +6
In this paper, we introduce the receiver architecture for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) Mission, designed to reveal the photon ring of black holes. The primary instrument is a dua…
The Japanese Vision for the Black Hole Explorer Mission
Kazunori Akiyama, Kotaro Niinuma, Kazuhiro Hada +43
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a next-generation space very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission concept that will extend the ground-based millimeter/submillimeter arrays…
