Closure Traces: Novel Calibration-Insensitive Quantities for Radio Astronomy

Avery E. Broderick, Dominic W. Pesce

Closure phases and closure amplitudes have proven critical to modern radio interferometry due to their insensitivity to the uncertain station gains. We present the first set of clo…

On the approximation of the black hole shadow with a simple polar curve

Joseph R. Farah, Dominic W. Pesce, Michael D. Johnson +1

A black hole embedded within a bright, optically thin emitting region imprints a nearly circular "shadow" on its image, corresponding to the observer's line-of-sight into the black…

The Megamaser Cosmology Project. XIII. Combined Hubble constant constraints

D. W. Pesce, J. A. Braatz, M. J. Reid +8

We present a measurement of the Hubble constant made using geometric distance measurements to megamaser-hosting galaxies. We have applied an improved approach for fitting maser dat…
