Testing General Relativity with the Black Hole Shadow Size and Asymmetry of Sagittarius A*: Limitations from Interstellar Scattering

no code implementations5 Nov 2018 Ziyan Zhu, Michael D. Johnson, Ramesh Narayan

This resolution may soon enable measurement of the black hole "shadow" size and asymmetry, predicted to be ${\approx}50\,\mu$as and ${\lesssim} 3\,\mu$as, respectively.

Interferometric Imaging Directly with Closure Phases and Closure Amplitudes

1 code implementation19 Mar 2018 Andrew A. Chael, Michael D. Johnson, Katherine L. Bouman, Lindy L. Blackburn, Kazunori Akiyama, Ramesh Narayan

Closure-only imaging provides results that are as non-committal as possible and allows for reconstructing an image independently from separate amplitude and phase self-calibration.

Reconstructing Video from Interferometric Measurements of Time-Varying Sources

1 code implementation3 Nov 2017 Katherine L. Bouman, Michael D. Johnson, Adrian V. Dalca, Andrew A. Chael, Freek Roelofs, Sheperd S. Doeleman, William T. Freeman

Most recently, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has extended VLBI to short millimeter wavelengths with a goal of achieving angular resolution sufficient for imaging the event horizons of nearby supermassive black holes.
