Abstract:
This talk will present the transformational science enabled by the
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to study the physics of, and near, the
supermassive black holes. Apart from introducing to the EHT, the
presentation will include the latest result from the study of the
black hole in M87, the process of making high-resolution images, the
importance and implication that these results entail. The talk will
also cast light on the extension of these findings to a sample of
galaxies covering a large parameter space in SMBH mass, accretion
rate, and jet power.
