Theoretical physicists at Goethe University Frankfurt have analysed data from the black hole M87* as part of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration to test Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the tests, the size of the shadow from M87* is in excellent agreement being from a black hole in general relativity, but sets constraints on the properties of black holes in other theories.

The Study of Big Data: How CLAS Researchers Use Data Science UConn researchers are using big data to attack issues of climate, space, genetics and public health Associate Professor of Physics Cara Battersby talks to attendees at a solar eclipse viewing on Horsebarn Hill in 2017. Her work uses high-performance computing to understand astronomical questions (Bri Diaz/UConn Photo).

She just went to her engineering and atmospheric science classes, did the computer programming...

Nature, and  Science. The CfA is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a vibrant slice of the larger Boston metropolitan area, known for its excellent universities, colleges and public education, its world renowned medical facilities, a dynamic modern economy, a booming artistic community, passionate sports fans and diverse cultures, all within a two hour drive to great skiing, hiking in the White, Green or Berkshire mountains, and many Atlantic Ocean beaches. As a joint collaboration between Smithsonian and Harvard, the CfA can also offer CfA Fellows selected special privileges through both ...

Advisor: Bryan Changala Background: I am a postdoctoral fellow in the McCarthy group at the SAO. My research is focused on using high precision experimental and computational spectroscopy to better understand the quantum structure, dynamics, and chemistry of small molecules. I received my PhD in Physics in 2019 from JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, and my S.B. in Chemistry and Physics in 2013 from MIT. Project: Multiple research opportunities are available in the McCarthy lab this summer that can be shaped to a student’s interest and the status of on-site vs. remote work at the SAO: M...

Center for Astrophysics EHT Collaboration Cambridge, MA – In April 2019, scientists released the first image of a black hole in galaxy M87 using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). However, that remarkable achievement was just the beginning of the science story to be told. Data from 19 observatories released today promise to give unparalleled insight into this black hole and the system it powers, and to improve tests of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. “We knew that the first direct image of a black hole would be groundbreaking,” says Kazuhiro Hada of the National Astronomical ...
