Seminar:- Imaging the Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of the M87 Galaxy
The Event Horizon Telescope experiment recently revealed the first image of a black hole── the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 Galaxy. The speaker will provide theoretical background of black holes, give an overview of the observation and data analysis process, and explain how this image is used to measure the mass of the black hole and to test Einstein's general theory of relativity. He will also put special emphasis on the technological and computational advancements in the last decade that helped to make this result possible.
