The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a telescope array consisting of a global network of radio telescopes.The EHT project combines data from several very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) stations around Earth, which form a combined array with an angular resolution sufficient to observe objects the size of a supermassive black hole's event horizon.
Katherine Louise Bouman (/ ˈ b aʊ m ə n /; [1] born 1989) is an American engineer and computer scientist working in the field of computational imaging.She led the development of an algorithm for imaging black holes, known as Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors (CHIRP), and was a member of the Event Horizon Telescope team that captured the first image of a ...
CARMA was an array element in the early proof-of-concept observations by the Event Horizon Telescope project, and in 2007 participated in observations which showed that event-horizon-scale structures could be seen in the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sgr A*. [5]
The C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) was a 6.1 m (20 ft) telescope used to survey the sky in the C band in support of Cosmic microwave background research. [11] A unique feature of the telescope was the use of radio-transparent foam to support the secondary mirror. The telescope began operating in 2009 [12] and was decommissioned in 2015.
Hat Creek Radio Observatory is located approximately 467 km (290 mi) northeast of San Francisco, California at an elevation of 986 m (3235 ft) above Sea Level in Hat Creek, California (in Shasta County). Latitude: 40° 49' 03" N; longitude: 121° 28' 24" W. The nearest large city to Hat Creek is Redding, California on highway I-5.
Some of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array radio telescopes The eight radio telescopes of the Smithsonian Submillimeter Array, located at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawai'i VLBI was used to create the first image of a black hole, imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope and published in April 2019.

His research focuses on imaging supermassive black holes with sufficient resolution to directly observe the event horizon. He is a senior research fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian and the Founding Director [ 2 ] of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project. [ 3 ]
First combined image reconstruction of the event horizon of a black hole captured by the Event Horizon Telescope.[1]CHIRP (Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors) is a Bayesian algorithm used to perform a deconvolution on images created in radio astronomy.
