The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration joins efforts with different institutions and telescopes around the world to produce a multi-frequency view of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87.
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, which released the first image of a black hole in 2019 and of which the LMT is a member, has joined efforts with different institutions and telescopes that operate at different wavelength regimes to produce a multi-frequency view of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87. The combined information across the electromagnetic spectrum provides a unique opportunity to better understand the properties of this supermassive black hole and the mechanisms that power the relativistic jets associated to M87.
