Fundamental Physics Opportunities with the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope
Dimitry Ayzenberg, Lindy Blackburn, Richard Brito +45
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration recently published the first images of the supermassive black holes in the cores of the Messier 87 and Milky Way galaxies. These obs…
What Determines the Boundaries of H2O Maser Emission in an X-ray Illuminated Gas Disk ?
C. Y. Kuo, F. Gao, J. A. Braatz +7
High precision mapping of H2O megamaser emission from active galaxies has revealed more than a dozen Keplerian H2O maser disks, which enable a ~4% uncertainty estimate of the Hubbl…
First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IX. Detection of Near-horizon Circular Polarization
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations have revealed a bright ring of emission around the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy. EHT images in linear polariza…
Polarimetric Geometric Modeling for mm-VLBI Observations of Black Holes
Freek Roelofs, Michael D. Johnson, Andrew Chael +4
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a millimeter very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that has imaged the apparent shadows of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sagit…
First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI: Testing the Black Hole Metric
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies…
First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. III: Imaging of the Galactic Center Supermassive Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the first event-horizon-scale images and spatiotemporal analysis of Sgr A* taken with the Event Horizon Telescope in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. Imaging of Sgr…
