Astronomers are Hoping the Event Horizon Telescope saw Pulsars Near the Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope is a collection of radio telescopes across the globe that simultaneously gathered data about the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, acting as a single telescope the size of planet Earth. This revealed the galaxy's heart in unprecedented detail, helping to confirm the black hole's event horizon and prove some of Einstein's predictions about General Relativity. But if those observations happened to contain any signals from pulsars in the area, it would allow for even more precise measurements, as if there were atomic clocks orbiting Sgr A*.

Kan de Event Horizon Explorer fotonenringen bij zwarte gaten zichtbaar maken?

De Event Horizon Explorer zou voortbouwen op het werk van de Event Horizon Telescope, die in 2019 een zwart gat visualiseerde.

Astronomers have improved the first image of a #blackhole. A new paper described how they used machine learning techniques to sharpen the image of the #supermassive black hole at the heart of #galaxy #M87 taken by the #EventHorizonTelescope and released four years ago. The sharper image shows a ring of gas around the black hole half as thick as originally detected.

Already four years since the first time the image of a black hole (the one at center of M87) was shared with humanity, with a big role from ALMA as part of the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration!

In anticipation of the Event Horizon Telescope’s upcoming May 12 announcement, here’s a shot of M87, the supergiant elliptical galaxy located 53 million light-years away. The supermassive black hole (M87*) at its core was the first to be imaged by the #eventhorizontelescope in March 2021. If you look closely, you can see the energetic plasma that originates from the core and extends 4,900 light-years.

Aufgemerkt! Am 12. Mai richtet die #ESO um 15 Uhr MESZ eine Pressekonferenz zu neuen Ergebnissen des #EHT über das massereiche schwarze Loch im Zentrum der #Milchstraße aus. Die Presse wird gebeten, sich vorab anzumelden. #EventHorizonTelescope #astronomy https://www.eso.org/public/germany/announcements/ann22006/

Wow.

"Using the Event Horizon Telescope data they were able to map the polarized light from the material, the key to investigating the magnetic fields themselves."

3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole.

Today, that image was released.
