Hi visitor!
My name is Monika Moscibrodzka. I am associate professor at Department of Astrophysics, Radboud University, the Netherlands.
I am a member of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration which in 2019 published the first image of the black hole.
Within EHT collaboration I co-lead efforts to measure polarization of M87 ring. The figure on the right shows the polarized version of M87 photo. The new results have been published on March 24, 2021 (see official press release). I am mainly theoretical astrophysicist who works at the boundary where theory meets with observations.
The first ever photograph of the black hole shadow in the very center of M87 galaxy was published in April 2019 by the Event Horizon Telescope. This figure shows the polarized image of M87 black hole, published on March 24, 2021.
