Constraining the Mass of a Hypothetical Secondary Black Hole in M87 with the NANOGrav 15-Year Data Set
Motoki Kino, Masahiro Nagashima, Hyunwook Ro +3
Galaxy mergers, each hosting a supermassive black hole (SMBH), are thought to form SMBH binaries. Motivated by recent observations from the East Asian VLBI Network (EAVN) showing p…
Origin of the ring ellipticity in the black hole images of M87*

We investigate the origin of the elliptical ring structure observed in the images of the supermassive black hole M87*, aiming to disentangle contributions from gravitational, astro…
The putative center in NGC 1052
Anne-Kathrin Baczko, Matthias Kadler, Eduardo Ros +284
Many active galaxies harbor powerful relativistic jets, however, the detailed mechanisms of their formation and acceleration remain poorly understood. To investigate the area of je…
Gamma-ray flares from the jet of the blazar CTA 102 in 2016-2018
