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.

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.

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.
