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.
Image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. Prof. Özel is part of the EHT team as of 2020. Feryal Özel (born May 27, 1975) is a Turkish-American astrophysicist born in Istanbul, Turkey, specializing in the physics of compact objects and high energy astrophysical ...
In 2014, the MOXIE instrument, for which Hecht is the principal investigator, was selected as one of the instruments on the Perseverance rover for the Mars 2020 mission. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] [ 26 ] In 2019, Hecht was one of the scientists awarded the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for his work with the Event Horizon Telescope to ...
In a world first, an image of a black hole was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, the U.S. National Science Foundation has revealed. U.S. National Science Foundation reveals black hole ...
From alien life to human spaceflight, 2020 may deliver some exciting news.
19 December – The AAAS journal Science reports that the "2019 Breakthrough of the Year" is the image of a supermassive black hole taken by the Event Horizon Telescope. [503] [504] The best science findings of 2019 are also reported in other listings by Boston University, [505] Business Insider [506] [507] and The New York Times. [508] [509 ...
In April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration released measurements of the black hole's mass as (6.5 ± 0.2 stat ± 0.7 sys) × 10 9 M ☉. [74] This is one of the highest known masses for such an object. A rotating disk of ionized gas surrounds the black hole, and is roughly perpendicular to the relativistic jet.
As Chairman of the Collaboration Board of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), Zensus is coordinating international efforts to map supermassive black holes in the universe. [ 8 ] Using RadioAstron and earth bound radio telescopes, Zensus was part of a team that imaged the origin region of the relativistic plasma jet around the supermassive black ...
