13:30 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar (Online) SMBHs at the center of M87 and Milky Way: what we learn? https://www.skyroom.online/ch/soa/weekly-seminar School ASTRONOMY The most recent resolved images of SMBHs at the center of M87 (the M87*) as well as the Milky Way (the SgrA*), by the event horizon telescope collaboration (EHTC), has opened up a very promising era of precision (SM)BH astrophysics. Thanks to the EHTC, we have now a horizon-resolved image of few SMBHs and some knowledge about the structure of the magnetic field and the accretion flow around some BHs. Inspired by this discoveries, in this talk, I will speak about different aspects of the recent reported (yet) un-polarized images of SgrA*. I will then continue with the polarized image of M87* and how we could use that to get some novel ... |
