Studying Black Holes on Horizon Scales with VLBI Ground Arrays
Abstract
High-resolution imaging of supermassive black holes is now possible, with new applications to testing general relativity and horizon-scale accretion and relativistic jet formation processes. Over the next decade, enhancement of the current EHT will deliver black hole movies, allowing real-time study of black holes and their impact on the Universe.
