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…
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: Back End Electronics
Ranjani Srinivasan, Jonathan Weintroub, Rick Raffanti +15
This paper describes specification and early design of back end signal processing subsystems for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) space teles…
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: Operating a Hybrid Observatory
Sara Issaoun, Kim Alonso, Kazunori Akiyama +16
We present a baseline science operations plan for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a space mission concept aiming to confirm the existence of the predicted sharp ``photon ring" resu…
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…
The Black Hole Explorer: Photon Ring Science, Detection and Shape Measurement
Alexandru Lupsasca, Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño, Daniel C. M. Palumbo +6
General relativity predicts that black hole images ought to display a bright, thin (and as-of-yet-unresolved) ring. This "photon ring" is produced by photons that explore the stron…
