First Trigonometric Parallax Measurements with the KVN and VERA Array (KaVA)

Nobuyuki Sakai, Daisuke Sakai, Noriyuki Kawaguchi +26

To demonstrate the astrometric capability of the combined Korean VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) Network (KVN) and VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) Array (KaVA)…

Trigonometric parallax and proper motion of Sagittarius A* measured by VERA using the new broad-band back-end system OCTAVE-DAS

Tomoaki Oyama, Takumi Nagayama, Aya Yamauchi +12

We successfully measured the trigonometric parallax of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) to be micro-arcseconds (as) using the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) with…

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IX. Detection of Near-horizon Circular Polarization

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations have revealed a bright ring of emission around the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy. EHT images in linear polariza…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI: Testing the Black Hole Metric

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. III: Imaging of the Galactic Center Supermassive Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

We present the first event-horizon-scale images and spatiotemporal analysis of Sgr A* taken with the Event Horizon Telescope in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. Imaging of Sgr…
