Abstract
- The article discusses research on black holes using the Event Horizon Telescope radio antenna array, focusing on planned imaging of the Sagittarius A* massive black hole in the Milky Way as it engulfs a gas cloud expected to approach it 2014. Topics include the formation of matter into accretion disks near black holes, synchrotron radiation of charged particles emitted in supersonic jets from black holes, and supermassive black holes in the Centaurus A and M87 galaxies.
