The intrinsic structure of Sagittarius A* at 1.3 cm and 7 mm
Ilje Cho, Guang-Yao Zhao, Tomohisa Kawashima +63
Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the Galactic Center supermassive black hole (SMBH), is one of the best targets to resolve the innermost region of SMBH with very long baseline interferomet…
Collimation of the relativistic jet in the quasar 3C 273
Hiroki Okino, Kazunori Akiyama, Keiichi Asada +32
The collimation of relativistic jets launched from the vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is one of the key questions to un…
First Space-VLBI Observations of Sagittarius A*
Michael D. Johnson, Yuri Y. Kovalev, Mikhail M. Lisakov +3
We report results from the first Earth-space VLBI observations of the Galactic Center supermassive black hole, Sgr A*. These observations used the space telescope Spektr-R of the R…
Event Horizon Telescope observations of the jet launching and collimation in Centaurus A
Michael Janssen, Heino Falcke, Matthias Kadler +236
Very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of active galactic nuclei at millimeter wavelengths have the power to reveal the launching and initial collimation region of e…
The Variability of the Black-Hole Image in M87 at the Dynamical Time Scale
Kaushik Satapathy, Dimitrios Psaltis, Feryal Ozel +235
The black-hole images obtained with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) are expected to be variable at the dynamical timescale near their horizons. For the black hole at the center o…
Toward determining the number of observable supermassive black hole shadows
Dominic W. Pesce, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Ramesh Narayan +7
We present estimates for the number of shadow-resolved supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems that can be detected using radio interferometers, as a function of angular resolution,…
Observing the Inner Shadow of a Black Hole: A Direct View of the Event Horizon
Andrew Chael, Michael D. Johnson, Alexandru Lupsasca
Simulated images of a black hole surrounded by optically thin emission typically display two main features: a central brightness depression and a narrow, bright "photon ring" consi…
Constraints on black-hole charges with the 2017 EHT observations of M87*
Prashant Kocherlakota, Luciano Rezzolla, Heino Falcke +234
Our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects has recently improved thanks to the measurements made by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We use here the M8…
The Polarized Image of a Synchrotron Emitting Ring of Gas Orbiting a Black Hole
Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Michael D. Johnson +237
Synchrotron radiation from hot gas near a black hole results in a polarized image. The image polarization is determined by effects including the orientation of the magnetic field i…
Polarimetric properties of Event Horizon Telescope targets from ALMA
Ciriaco Goddi, Ivan Marti-Vidal, Hugo Messias +31
We present the results from a full polarization study carried out with ALMA during the first VLBI campaign, which was conducted in Apr 2017 in the 3mm and 1.3mm bands, in con…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VIII. Magnetic Field Structure near The Event Horizon
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations at 230 GHz have now imaged polarized emission around the supermassive black hole in M87 on event-horizon scales. This polarized synchrotr…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VII. Polarization of the Ring
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
In 2017 April, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observed the near-horizon region around the supermassive black hole at the core of the M87 galaxy. These 1.3 mm wavelength observat…
Polarized Image of Equatorial Emission in the Kerr Geometry
Zachary Gelles, Elizabeth Himwich, Daniel C. M. Palumbo +1
We develop a simple toy model for polarized images of synchrotron emission from an equatorial source around a Kerr black hole by using a semi-analytic solution of the null geodesic…
An 86-GHz search for Pulsars in the Galactic Center with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array
Kuo Liu, Gregory Desvignes, Ralph P. Eatough +24
We report on the first pulsar and transient survey of the Galactic Center (GC) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The observations were conducted during…
Broadband Multi-wavelength Properties of M87 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope Campaign
J. C. Algaba, J. Anczarski, K. Asada +36
In 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration succeeded in capturing the first direct image of the center of the M87 galaxy. The asymmetric ring morphology and size are…
Evaluation of New Submillimeter VLBI Sites for the Event Horizon Telescope
Alexander W. Raymond, Daniel Palumbo, Scott N. Paine +8
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a very long baseline interferometer built to image supermassive black holes on event-horizon scales. In this paper, we investigate candidate si…
