[FRIAM] center of the milkyway does containt a blackhole

[David Eric Smith]

Yeah, good stuff.

I’m not sure when I first heard about the ALMA upgrade that would give them phase coherence across the telescopes at the frequencies the EHT is using, and data archiving that would allow them to try to coherently register telescopes sited all around the world.  It feels like about a decade ago.  I have been waiting, since that first notice, to see this picture.  The M87 image a couple years ago was the resolution of the real cliffhanger — whether they could get it to work at all — but this one was even 2+ years harder to push through technically.

I don’t imagine I would want to do that work.  It seems like an incredible tedious grind, made for real professionals.  But I am very glad to be a consumer of the outcome.

Eric
