What Determines the Boundaries of H2O Maser Emission in an X-ray Illuminated Gas Disk ?
C. Y. Kuo, F. Gao, J. A. Braatz +7
High precision mapping of H2O megamaser emission from active galaxies has revealed more than a dozen Keplerian H2O maser disks, which enable a ~4% uncertainty estimate of the Hubbl…
An Updated Reference Frame for the Galactic Inner Parsec
Jeremy Darling, Jennie Paine, Mark J. Reid +3
Infrared observations of stellar orbits about Sgr A* probe the mass distribution in the inner parsec of the Galaxy and provide definitive evidence for the existence of a massive bl…
The parallax and 3D kinematics of water masers in the massive star-forming region G034.43+0.24
Xiaofeng Mai, Bo Zhang, M. J. Reid +12
We report a trigonometric parallax measurement of 22 GHz water masers in the massive star-forming region G034.43+0.24 as part of the Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy (BeSSeL) Survey…
A Milliarcsecond-accurate Position for Sagittarius A*
Shuangjing Xu, Bo Zhang, Mark J. Reid +3
The absolute position of Sgr A*, the compact radio source at the center of the Milky Way, had been uncertain by several tens of milliarcseconds. Here we report improved astrometric…
Constraining a black hole companion for M87* through imaging by the Event Horizon Telescope
Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Abraham Loeb, Mark Reid
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a global very long baseline interferometric array observing at a wavelength of 1.3 mm, detected the first image of the M87 supermassive black hol…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project. X. High Resolution Maps and Mass Constraint for SMBHs
W. Zhao, J. A. Braatz, J. J. Condon +8
We present high resolution (sub-mas) VLBI maps of nuclear H2O megamasers for seven galaxies. In UGC6093, the well-aligned systemic masers and high-velocity masers originate in an e…
