New M87 Black Hole Map Reveals How Emission Changes With Distance
Key Takeaways
- Researchers produced the first spatially resolved dual-frequency spectral study of the M87 black hole.
- The analysis combined 1.3 mm and 3.5 mm observations from the EHT and GMVA.
- The inner region shows signs of synchrotron self-absorption, while outer regions appear more optically thin.
- The work offers a new method for probing plasma conditions around a supermassive black hole.
