GRMHD accretion beyond the black hole paradigm: Light from within the shadow
Saurabh, Maciek Wielgus, Parth Bambhaniya +3
We present the first three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulation of sustained accretion onto a horizonless singularity in which matter reaches the central…
Full-polarization millimeter wavelength variability of Sagittarius A* during the 2018 EHT campaign
Ezequiel Albentosa-Ruiz, Jasmin E. Washington, Nicola Marchili +272
Sagittarius A* (Srg A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, provides a unique laboratory to study accretion dynamics and plasma processes near the event ho…
Ring Asymmetry and Spin in M87*
Vadim Bernshteyn, Nicholas S. Conroy, Michi Bauböck +263
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of the supermassive black hole M87* depict an asymmetric ring of emission. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) models of M87* and…
Semi-analytic studies of accretion disk and magnetic field geometry in M87*
Saurabh, Maciek Wielgus, Arman Tursunov +2
Context: Magnetic fields play a pivotal role in dynamics of black hole accretion flows and formation of relativistic jets. Observations by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) provide…
Probing jet base emission of M87* with the 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations
Saurabh, Hendrik Müller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg +282
We investigate the presence and spatial characteristics of the jet base emission in M87* at 230 GHz, enabled by the enhanced uv coverage in the 2021 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) o…
Horizon-scale variability of M87* from 2017--2021 EHT observations
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We report three epochs of polarized images of M87* at 230\,GHz using data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) taken in 2017, 2018, and 2021. The baseline coverage of the 2021 ob…
