First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. IV. Variability, Morphology, and Black Hole Mass [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
In this paper we quantify the temporal variability and image morphology of the horizon-scale emission from Sgr A*, as observed by the EHT in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. We find that the Sgr A* data exhibit variability that exceeds what can be

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

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
In 2017 April, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observed the near-horizon region around the supermassive black hole at the core of the M87 galaxy. These 1.3 mm wavelength observations revealed a compact asymmetric ring-like source morphology.

Estimation of Astronomical Seeing with Neural Networks at the Maidanak Observatory

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
In the present article, we study the possibilities of machine learning for the estimation of seeing at the Maidanak Astronomical Observatory (38∘40′24″ N, 66∘53′47″ E) using only Era-5 reanalysis data.

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
When surrounded by a transparent emission region, black holes are expected to reveal a dark shadow caused by gravitational light bending and photon capture at the event horizon.
