Stochastic Optics: A Scattering Mitigation Framework for Radio Interferometric Imaging

achael/eht-imaging 17 Oct 2016

We present a scattering mitigation framework for radio imaging with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) that partially overcomes this limitation.

A Model for Anisotropic Interstellar Scattering and its Application to Sgr A*

achael/eht-imaging 3 May 2018

For expected values of the inner scale, the scattering kernel for all models is markedly non-Gaussian at 1. 3 mm but is straightforward to calculate and depends only weakly on the assumed model for the wandering of the magnetic field direction.

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VII. Polarization of the Ring

achael/eht-imaging 3 May 2021

We perform quantitative measurements of relevant polarimetric properties of the compact emission and find evidence for the temporal evolution of the polarized source structure over one week of EHT observations.

SYMBA: An end-to-end VLBI synthetic data generation pipeline

achael/eht-imaging 2 Apr 2020

These studies are important when proposing observations of new sources, in the characterization of the capabilities of new or upgraded instruments, and when verifying model-based theoretical predictions in a comparison with observational data.

The Size, Shape, and Scattering of Sagittarius A* at 86 GHz: First VLBI with ALMA

achael/eht-imaging 18 Jan 2019

Our long-baseline detections to ALMA also provide new constraints on the scattering of Sgr A*, and we show that refractive scattering effects are likely to be weak for images of Sgr A* at 1. 3 mm with the Event Horizon Telescope.

Dynamical Imaging with Interferometry

achael/eht-imaging 3 Nov 2017

By linking widely separated radio dishes, the technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) can greatly enhance angular resolution in radio astronomy.

Event Horizon Telescope observations of the jet launching and collimation in Centaurus A

achael/eht-imaging 5 Nov 2021

We find that Centaurus A's source structure resembles the jet in Messier 87 on ${\sim}500r_g$ scales remarkably well.
