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…
Resolving the inner parsec of the blazar J1924-2914 with the Event Horizon Telescope
Sara Issaoun, Maciek Wielgus, Svetlana Jorstad +27
The blazar J1924-2914 is a primary Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) calibrator for the Galactic Center's black hole Sagittarius A*. Here we present the first total and linearly polari…
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…
