Testing general relativity with the Event Horizon Telescope

摘要: The Event Horizon Telescope is a millimeter VLBI array that taking the first horizon-scale pictures of black hole in center M87 galaxy and, near future, one Milky Way. Measurements shape and size shadows cast by holes on surrounding emission can test cosmic censorship conjecture no-hair theorem may find evidence for classical effects quantum structure holes. Observations coherent structures accretion flows lead to accurate measurements spins other properties their spacetimes. For Sgr A*, Way, precession stellar orbits timing monitoring orbiting pulsars offer complementary avenues gravitational tests with Telescope.
