Resolved Magnetic-Field Structure and Variability Near the Event Horizon of Sagittarius A*
Michael D. Johnson, Vincent L. Fish, Sheperd S. Doeleman +45
Near a black hole, differential rotation of a magnetized accretion disk is thought to produce an instability that amplifies weak magnetic fields, driving accretion and outflow. The…
230 GHz VLBI observations of M87: event-horizon-scale structure at the enhanced very-high-energy -ray state in 2012
Kazunori Akiyama, Ru-Sen Lu, Vincent L. Fish +45
We report on 230 GHz (1.3 mm) VLBI observations of M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope using antennas on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, Mt. Graham in Arizona and Cedar Flat in California. F…
Fine-scale structure of the quasar 3C 279 Measured with 1.3 mm very long baseline interferometry
Ru-Sen Lu, Vincent L. Fish, Kazunori Akiyama +30
We report results from 5-day VLBI observations of the well-known quasar 3C 279 at 1.3 mm (230 GHz) in 2011. The measured nonzero closure phases on triangles including stations in A…
Jet Launching Structure Resolved Near the Supermassive Black Hole in M87
Sheperd S. Doeleman, Vincent L. Fish, David E. Schenck +30
Approximately 10% of active galactic nuclei exhibit relativistic jets, which are powered by accretion of matter onto super massive black holes. While the measured width profiles of…
Resolving the inner jet structure of 1924-292 with the EVENT HORIZON TELESCOPE
Ru-Sen Lu, Vincent L. Fish, Jonathan Weintroub +19
We present the first 1.3 mm (230 GHz) very long baseline interferometry model image of an AGN jet using closure phase techniques with a four-element array. The model image of the q…
