A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored ...
The EHT is not a single telescope like the JWST, but an array of individual radio telescopes. JWST observes in the micrometer (near infrared) range with a resolution of about 0.1 arcsecond, where ...
The EHT is a network of seven telescopes across the globe that creates an Earth-sized ... producing an image that utilizes the full resolution of the array for the first time," stated Psaltis.
The expanding EHT array will play an important role in the future discoveries on these fascinating objects," says Röder. J. Anton Zensus, ...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has conducted test observations, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and other facilities, that achieved the highest ...
The Earth’s atmosphere tends to absorb more light at 870µm than at 1.3mm, meaning that less of this lower-wavelength light reaches the sensors of the EHT’s array.
By linking together three EHT telescopes—the IRAM 30-meter telescope atop Pico Veleta, Spain and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and Submillimeter Array on Maunakea, Hawai'i—the astronomers ...
In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve ...
The next-generation Event Horizon Telescope, or ngEHT for short, would add a dedicated network of approximately 10 new antennas to the collaboration’s existing international array. The EHT team ...
The EHT collaboration has developed a way to correct for the effects of water vapor in the atmosphere that improves the efficiency of the array, and allows 0.87-millimeter observations to be taken ...
