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…
Toward Optimisation of a Sub-Terahertz Spaceborne VLBI Mission
Ben Hudson, Leonid I. Gurvits, Daniel Palumbo +2
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) provides the finest angular resolution of all astronomical observation techniques. However, observations with Earth-based instruments are a…
A High-resolution Far-infrared Survey to Probe Black Hole-Galaxy Co-evolution
Matteo Bonato, David Leisawitz, Gianfranco De Zotti +10
Far-infrared (FIR) surveys are critical to probing the co-evolution of black holes and galaxies, since of order half the light from accreting black holes and active star formation…
