The JCMT Transient Survey: An Extraordinary Submillimetre Flare in the T Tauri Binary System JW 566

Steve Mairs, Bhavana Lalchand, Geoffrey C. Bower +7

The binary T Tauri system JW 566 in the Orion Molecular Cloud underwent an energetic, short-lived flare observed at submillimetre wavelengths by the SCUBA-2 instrument on 26 Novemb…

Micro-arcsecond structure of Sagittarius A* revealed by high-sensitivity 86 GHz VLBI observations

Christiaan D. Brinkerink, Cornelia Müller, Heino D. Falcke +21

The compact radio source Sagittarius~A (Sgr~A)in the Galactic Center is the primary supermassive black hole candidate. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (GRMHD) si…

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…

Science with an ngVLA: Tidal disruption events

Sjoert van Velzen, Geoffrey C. Bower, Brian D. Metzger

The tidal disruption and subsequent accretion of a star by a supermassive black hole can be used as a laboratory to study the physics of relativistic jets. The ngVLA is the only pl…

Galactic Center Pulsars with the ngVLA

Geoffrey C. Bower, Shami Chatterjee, Jim Cordes +9

Pulsars in the Galactic Center (GC) are important probes of General Relativity, star formation, stellar dynamics, stellar evolution, and the interstellar medium. Despite years of s…

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…
