Series: | Physics and Astronomy Colloquium | |
Abstract: | It has become possible in recent years to image the central regions around the expected supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei, with event horizon scale angular resolution. In this colloquium I will discuss the relevant current capabilities for Very Long Baseline Interferometry from Earth and Space and the developments and results of the Event Horizon Telescope. I will also address the opportunities they hold for the astrophysical understanding of relativistic jets and beyond and what future developments we can expect. | |
