Jan 18, 2012 · The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has released new images of M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, using data from observations taken in April 2018. With the participation of the newly commissioned...

Jan 18, 2024 · In 2017, the EHT took the first image of a black hole. This object, M87*, is the beating heart of the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87 and lives 55 million light years away from Earth. The image of the black hole revealed a bright circular ring, brighter in …

Apr 10, 2019 · As a black hole’s size is proportional to its mass, the more massive a black hole, the larger the shadow. Thanks to its enormous mass and relative proximity, M87’s black hole was predicted to be one of the largest viewable from Earth — making it a perfect target for the EHT.

Mar 24, 2021 · The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who produced the first ever image of a black hole, has revealed today a new view of the massive object at the centre of the M87 galaxy: how it looks in polarised light.

On April 10th 2019, the EHT Collaboration presented its first results -- an image of the supermassive black hole in galaxy M87 -- in multiple simultaneous press conferences around the world. The official EHT press release can be found here. This page contains links to recorded press conferences, press releases from our partner institutions, and ...

Nov 26, 2024 · Observations—both recent ones with a more sensitive EHT array and those planned for the coming years—will provide invaluable insights and an extraordinary opportunity to study the physics surrounding M87’s supermassive black hole.

Multi-wavelength Observations of M87 During the 2017 EHT Campaign: The EHT MWL Science Working Group et al. 14 Apr 2021: CyVerse Data Commons (DOI: 10.25739/mhh2-cw46) The EHT MWL Science Working Group et al. 2021, ApJL, 911, L11: 2020-D03-01: EHT Visibility Amplitude Data of M87* in 2011-2013: The EHT Collaboration et al. 23 Sep 2020

Jan 22, 2025 · Six years after the historic release of the first-ever image of a black hole, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration unveils a new analysis of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87, known as M87*.

In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration delivered the first image of a black hole, revealing M87*—the supermassive object in the center of the M87 galaxy. The EHT team has now used the lessons learned last year to analyze the archival data sets from 2009-2013, some of them not published before.

Jun 14, 2022 · Four independent analyses (3,4,5,6) have reconstructed the ring-like structure of M87, employing a diverse set of techniques. These efforts complement the three imaging and two modeling techniques in the 2019 EHTC papers presenting the first M87 results.
