Testing General Relativity with the Black Hole Shadow Size and Asymmetry of Sagittarius A*: Limitations from Interstellar Scattering
Ziyan Zhu, Michael D. Johnson, Ramesh Narayan
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a global 230 GHz VLBI array, achieves an angular resolution of , sufficient to resolve the supermassive black hole Sagit…
ALMA Polarimetry of Sgr A*: Probing the Accretion Flow from the Event Horizon to the Bondi Radius
Geoffrey C. Bower, Avery Broderick, Jason Dexter +10
Millimeter polarimetry of Sgr A* probes the linearly polarized emission region on a scale of Schwarzschild radii () as well as the dense, magnetized accretion flow o…
Two-temperature, Magnetically Arrested Disc simulations of the jet from the supermassive black hole in M87
Andrew Chael, Ramesh Narayan, Michael D. Johnson
We present two-temperature, radiative general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of Magnetically Arrested Discs (MAD) that launch powerful relativistic jets. The mass acc…
The Scattering and Intrinsic Structure of Sagittarius A* at Radio Wavelengths
Michael D. Johnson, Ramesh Narayan, Dimitrios Psaltis +12
Radio images of the Galactic Center supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), are dominated by interstellar scattering. Previous studies of Sgr A* have adopted an anisotrop…
The role of electron heating physics in images and variability of the Galactic Centre black hole Sagittarius A*
Andrew Chael, Michael E. Rowan, Ramesh Narayan +2
The accretion flow around the Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is expected to have an electron temperature that is distinct from the ion temperature, due to weak…
Detection of intrinsic source structure at ~3 Schwarzschild radii with Millimeter-VLBI observations of SAGITTARIUS A*
Ru-Sen Lu, Thomas P. Krichbaum, Alan L. Roy +53
We report results from very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center, Sgr A*, at 1.3 mm (230 GHz). The observations w…
VLBA Observations of Strong Anisotripic Radio Scattering towards the Orion Nebula
Marina Kounkel, Lee Hartmann, Laurent Loinard +6
We present observations of VLBA 20, a radio source found towards the edge of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). Nonthermal emission dominates the spectral energy distribution of this…
Interferometric Imaging Directly with Closure Phases and Closure Amplitudes
Andrew A. Chael, Michael D. Johnson, Katherine L. Bouman +3
Interferometric imaging now achieves angular resolutions as fine as 10 microarcsec, probing scales that are inaccessible to single telescopes. Traditional synthesis imaging methods…
