High-frequency water megamasers as precision probes of black holes, galaxies and cosmology: A case for a next-generation sub-mm/mm interferometer
Ingyin Zaw, C. M. Violette Impellizzeri, Dominic W. Pesce +8
Water megamasers in the circumnuclear disks of active galactic nuclei are among the most precise probes of supermassive black holes. VLBI imaging of 22 GHz disk masers has provided…
Studying the Near-horizon Jet of M87 using Millimeter Balloon-borne VLBI stations
Felix M. Thiel, Dominic W. Pesce, Mayukh Bagchi +2
In this paper we present synthetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of M87 between a near-future configuration of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and one or…
The Balloon-borne VLBI Experiment (BVEX) Radio Telescope and Position Tracking System
Felix M. Thiel, Mayukh Bagchi, Laura M. Fissel +17
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is a technique in radio astronomy that vastly increases the diffraction limited angular resolution of radio observations by correlating sim…
An RFSoC-based Backend and Timing System for the Balloon-borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment
Mayukh Bagchi, Felix M. Thiel, Laura M. Fissel +13
We present the design and performance characterization of the digital backend and precision-timing system for the Balloon-borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment (BVEX),…
Multifrequency Synthesis via CHIBI: Colorful Hierarchical Interferometric Bayesian Imaging
Erandi Chavez, Paul Tiede, Sara Issaoun +4
From magnetized plasma of relativistic jets to dust grains within protoplanetary disks, we study the emission mechanisms of radio sources via their rich spectral structure. Multifr…
Expanding the Horizon of Black Hole Imaging with AtLAST
Kazunori Akiyama, Mariafelicia De Laurentis, Ziri Younsi +8
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has directly resolved and imaged two supermassive black holes and opening a new window on black hole physics. However, the current array is limite…
