Michael H. Hecht is a research scientist, associate director for research management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Haystack Observatory, [1] and former deputy project director of the Event Horizon Telescope. [2]
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.
Starting from 2015, and as a member of the Executive Board of the collaboration Event Horizon Telescope, he has contributed to the international effort of producing the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the supergiant elliptical galaxy Messier 87 (M87). Together with his group in Frankfurt, and using numerical ...
She is a member of a number of large scale research projects including the Low-Frequency ARay , [3] Cherenkov Telescope Array [3] and Event Horizon Telescope, which produced the first image of a black hole. [5]
He is involved in the Event Horizon Telescope project, [2] which led in 2019 to the first image of the event horizon of a black hole. [3] [4] [5] The first image of the event horizon of a black hole, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration.
She is the Modeling lead and member of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) that released the first image of a black hole. [3] [4] Özel received the Maria Goeppert Mayer award from the American Physical Society in 2013 [5] for her outstanding contributions to neutron star astrophysics.
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 ...
OJ287 is a target candidate of the Event Horizon Telescope, 3C279 was targeted by it in 2017. The optical light curve shows that OJ 287 has a periodic variation of 11–12 years with a narrow double peak at maximum brightness. [8] This kind of variation suggests that it is a binary supermassive black hole. [9]
