The Physical Properties of Changing-look Blazars

Shi-Ju Kang, Bing Lyu, Qingwen Wu +2

Changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are a special class of AGNs that change their spectral type from type 1 to type 2 or vice versa. In recent years, a number of changing-l…

An Explanation for Overrepresentation of Tidal Disruption Events in Post-starburst Galaxies

Mengye Wang, Yiqiu Ma, Qingwen Wu +1

Tidal disruption events\,(TDEs) provide a valuable probe in studying the dynamics of stars in the nuclear environments of galaxies. Recent observations show that TDEs are strongly…

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IX. Detection of Near-horizon Circular Polarization

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations have revealed a bright ring of emission around the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy. EHT images in linear polariza…

Polarimetric Geometric Modeling for mm-VLBI Observations of Black Holes

Freek Roelofs, Michael D. Johnson, Andrew Chael +4

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a millimeter very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that has imaged the apparent shadows of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sagit…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI: Testing the Black Hole Metric

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. V. Testing Astrophysical Models of the Galactic Center Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

In this paper, we provide a first physical interpretation for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)'s 2017 observations of Sgr A*. Our main approach is to compare resolved EHT data at…
