The EB-correlation in Resolved Polarized Images: Connections to Astrophysics of Black Holes

Razieh Emami, Sheperd S. Doeleman, Maciek Wielgus +18

We present an in-depth analysis of a newly proposed correlation function in visibility space, between the E and B modes of the linear polarization, hereafter the EB-correlation, fo…

The two rings of (50000) Quaoar

C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy, B. E. Morgado +66

Quaoar is a classical Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) with an area equivalent diameter of 1,100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultat…

Tracing the hot spot motion using the next generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT)

Razieh Emami, Paul Tiede, Sheperd S. Doeleman +19

We propose to trace the dynamical motion of a shearing hot spot near the SgrA* source through a dynamical image reconstruction algorithm, StarWarps. Such a hot spot may form as the…

Probing plasma composition with the next generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT)

Razieh Emami, Richard Anantua, Angelo Ricarte +15

We explore the plasma matter content in the innermost accretion disk/jet in M87* as relevant for an enthusiastic search for the signatures of anti-matter in the next generation of…

Unraveling Twisty Linear Polarization Morphologies in Black Hole Images

Razieh Emami, Angelo Ricarte, George N. Wong +23

We investigate general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations (GRMHD) to determine the physical origin of the twisty patterns of linear polarization seen in spatially resolve…

On the robustness of the velocity anisotropy parameter in probing the stellar kinematics in Milky Way like galaxies: Take away from TNG50 simulation

Razieh Emami, Lars Hernquist, Mark Vogelsberger +8

We analyze the velocity anisotropy of stars in real and energy space for a sample of Milky Way-like galaxies in the TNG50 simulation. We employ different selection criteria, includ…
