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.

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.

Using evolutionary algorithms to model relativistic jets: Application to NGC 1052

achael/eht-imaging 29 Mar 2019

The detailed analysis of our simulations shows that the structure and properties of the observed relativistic jets in NGC 1052 can be reconstructed by a slightly over-pressured jet ($d_k\sim1. 5$) embedded in a decreasing pressure ambient medium

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.

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.

Reconstructing Video from Interferometric Measurements of Time-Varying Sources

achael/eht-imaging 3 Nov 2017

Most recently, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has extended VLBI to short millimeter wavelengths with a goal of achieving angular resolution sufficient for imaging the event horizons of nearby supermassive black holes.

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.

Interferometric Imaging Directly with Closure Phases and Closure Amplitudes

achael/eht-imaging 19 Mar 2018

Closure-only imaging provides results that are as non-committal as possible and allows for reconstructing an image independently from separate amplitude and phase self-calibration.

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.
