(IOP Publishing, 2011)
      Sagittarius A*, the ~4 × 106 M ☉ black hole candidate at the Galactic center, can be studied on Schwarzschild radius scales with (sub)millimeter wavelength very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). We report on 1.3 mm ...

    • 230 GHz VLBI observations of M87: event-horizon-scale structure at the enhanced very-high-energy γ-ray state in 2012

J.; Titus, Michael; Weintroub, Jonathan; Wright, Melvyn; Young, Ken Harbour; Ziurys, Lucy M. (American Astronomical Society, 2013)
      We report results from five day very long baseline interferometry observations of the well-known quasar 3C 279 at 1.3mm (230 GHz) in 2011. The measured nonzero closure phases on triangles including stations in Arizona, ...

J.; Titus, M.; Weintroub, Jonathan; Wright, Bennett Bennett; Young, K. H.; Ziurys, L. M. (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2012)
      Approximately 10% of active galactic nuclei exhibit relativistic jets, which are powered by accretion of matter onto super massive black holes. While the measured width profiles of such jets on large scales agree with ...

J.; Titus, M.; Vertatschitsch, L.; Weintroub, Jonathan; Wright, M.; Young, Ken Harbour; Zensus, J. A.; Ziurys, L. M. (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2015)
      Near a black hole, differential rotation of a magnetized accretion disk is thought to produce an instability that amplifies weak magnetic fields, driving accretion and outflow. These magnetic fields would naturally give ...
