Bayesian Evidence for Inspiraling Hotspot Motion in the Galactic Center
Pablo Ruales, Maciek Wielgus, Delilah E. A. Gates +1
During flaring episodes, polarimetric observations of the Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) reveal evolving, loop-like trajectories in the Stokes Q-U plane, the so…

Polarization Signatures of Inspiraling Hotspots around Kerr Black Holes
Pablo Ruales, Delilah E. A. Gates, Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño
Polarimetric interferometry is a powerful tool for probing both black hole accretion physics and the background spacetime. Current models aimed at explaining the observed multiwave…
