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…
First Very Long Baseline Interferometry Detections at 870μm
Alexander W. Raymond, Sheperd S. Doeleman, Keiichi Asada +276
The first very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) detections at 870m wavelength (345GHz frequency) are reported, achieving the highest diffraction-limited angular resoluti…
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: Motivation and Vision
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Rebecca Baturin +65
We present the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a mission that will produce the sharpest images in the history of astronomy by extending submillimeter Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry…
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…
