Kinematics of the M87 jet in the collimation zone: gradual acceleration and velocity stratification
Jongho Park, Kazuhiro Hada, Motoki Kino +36
We study the kinematics of the M87 jet using the first year data of the KVN and VERA Array (KaVA) large program, which has densely monitored the jet at 22 and 43 GHz since 2016. We…
Black hole Spin Measurement Based on Time-domain VLBI Observations of Infalling Gas Cloud
Kotaro Moriyama, Shin Mineshige, Mareki Honma +1
The black hole spacetime is described by general relativity and characterized by two quantities: the black hole mass and spin. Black hole spin measurement requires information from…
Exploring Regularized Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction for Stellar Imaging with the ngVLA
Kazunori Akiyama, Lynn D. Matthews
The proposed next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) will enable the imaging of astronomical sources in unprecedented detail by providing an order of magnitude improvement in sens…
Studying black holes on horizon scales with space-VLBI
Kari Haworth, Michael D. Johnson, Dominic W. Pesce +25
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) recently produced the first horizon-scale image of a supermassive black hole. Expanding the array to include a 3-meter space telescope operating a…
Studying Black Holes on Horizon Scales with VLBI Ground Arrays
Lindy Blackburn, Sheperd Doeleman, Jason Dexter +35
High-resolution imaging of supermassive black holes is now possible, with new applications to testing general relativity and horizon-scale accretion and relativistic jet formation…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI. The Shadow and Mass of the Central Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present measurements of the properties of the central radio source in M87 using Event Horizon Telescope data obtained during the 2017 campaign. We develop and fit geometric cres…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. V. Physical Origin of the Asymmetric Ring
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has mapped the central compact radio source of the elliptical galaxy M87 at 1.3 mm with unprecedented angular resolution. Here we consider the phy…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IV. Imaging the Central Supermassive Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the first Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of M87, using observations from April 2017 at 1.3 mm wavelength. These images show a prominent ring with a diameter of ~40…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. III. Data Processing and Calibration
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the calibration and reduction of Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) 1.3mm radio wavelength observations of the supermassive black hole candidate at the center of the radio ga…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. II. Array and Instrumentation
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that comprises millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength telescopes separated by distances comp…
Black Hole Spin Signature in the Black Hole Shadow of M87 in the Flaring State
Tomohisa Kawashima, Motoki Kino, Kazunori Akiyama
Imaging the immediate vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBH) and extracting a BH-spin signature is one of the grand challenges in astrophysics. M87 is known as one of the best…
