Light echos and coherent autocorrelations in a black hole spacetime

Paul M. Chesler, Lindy Blackburn, Sheperd S. Doeleman +4

The Event Horizon Telescope recently produced the first images of a black hole. These images were synthesized by measuring the coherent correlation function of the complex electric…

Gravitational Test Beyond the First Post-Newtonian Order with the Shadow of the M87 Black Hole

Dimitrios Psaltis, Lia Medeiros, Pierre Christian +185

The 2017 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of the central source in M87 have led to the first measurement of the size of a black-hole shadow. This observation offers a new…

On the approximation of the black hole shadow with a simple polar curve

Joseph R. Farah, Dominic W. Pesce, Michael D. Johnson +1

A black hole embedded within a bright, optically thin emitting region imprints a nearly circular "shadow" on its image, corresponding to the observer's line-of-sight into the black…

iDQ: Statistical Inference of Non-Gaussian Noise with Auxiliary Degrees of Freedom in Gravitational-Wave Detectors

Reed Essick, Patrick Godwin, Chad Hanna +2

Gravitational-wave detectors are exquisitely sensitive instruments and routinely enable ground-breaking observations of novel astronomical phenomena. However, they also witness non…

SYMBA: An end-to-end VLBI synthetic data generation pipeline

F. Roelofs, M. Janssen, I. Natarajan +203

Realistic synthetic observations of theoretical source models are essential for our understanding of real observational data. In using synthetic data, one can verify the extent to…
