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.
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]
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]
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 ...
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 ...
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.
'90s Week: The 1997 sci-fi horror film flopped in theaters and with critics. On its 25th anniversary, the director tells us about the one thing that made audiences take a second look.
