Resolving Nearby Supermassive Black Holes with the Black Hole Explorer
Yuto Akiyama, Kazunori Akiyama, Dominic W. Pesce +12
Recent Event Horizon Telescope results have demonstrated unique and transformative science in gravitational physics and black hole astrophysics enabled by event-horizon-scale imagi…
Radio Constraints on the Circumstellar Environment of the Type IIb Supernova SN 2024iss
Yuhei Iwata, Tomoki Matsuoka, Masanori Akimoto +6
Type~IIb supernovae exhibit diverse progenitor properties, and radio observations offer a unique probe of their mass-loss histories shortly before the explosion. We present Japanes…
VLBI Astrometry of Magnetars
Takuya Akahori, Sujin Eie, Kei Amada +8
The origin of the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe, i.e., the origin of magnetars, is a longstanding question. An enhanced dynamo effect in an irregular supernova explosio…
Radio Follow-up Observations of SN 2023ixf by Japanese and Korean VLBIs
Yuhei Iwata, Masanori Akimoto, Tomoki Matsuoka +10
We report on radio follow-up observations of the nearby Type II supernova, SN 2023ixf, spanning from 1.7 to 269.9 days after the explosion, conducted using three very long baseline…
Black Hole Spacetime and Properties of Accretion Flows and Jets Probed by Black Hole Explorer: Science Cases Proposed by BHEX Japan Team
Tomohisa Kawashima, Yuh Tsunetoe, Ken Ohsuga +7
Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a space VLBI mission concept, which can probe the black hole spacetime and the plasma properties including the magnetic fields of the accretion flows…
Precessing jet nozzle connecting to a spinning black hole in M87
Yuzhu Cui, Kazuhiro Hada, Tomohisa Kawashima +76
The nearby radio galaxy M87 offers a unique opportunity to explore the connections between the central supermassive black hole and relativistic jets. Previous studies of the inner…
