Touching the event horizons of BHs
Fukue et al 1989
•AGN core is most-likely a super-massive black hole.
•Yet, there is no confirmation of existence of event horizon
Direct detection of BH shadow is an ultimate confirmation of existence of BH. (or negative results may indicate an existence of naked singularity !?)
•New breakthrough for experimental BH physics!?

Status of APP (ALMA phasing project)• Phasing-up 64 of ALMA antenna for sub-mm VLBI• MRI proposal already approved (2011)
• PDR meeting held in
Nov 1~2.
• APP conditionally
approved by ALMA board
(15 Nov 2012)
![Page 17: AGN studies with EHT and EATING VLBI Mareki Honma Mizusawa VLBI observatory, NAOJ](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfe81a28abf838cb652c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
New imaging technique for EHT era
• UV coverage of VLBI is sparse• FFT from UV plane to image is usually done with 0
padding (otherwise ill-posed problem)
• “Compressive sensing” is a way to directly solve ill-posed linear equations under the condition that the solution is sparse.
• No 0-padding allows us to get super resolution !
![Page 18: AGN studies with EHT and EATING VLBI Mareki Honma Mizusawa VLBI observatory, NAOJ](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfe81a28abf838cb652c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
New technique
• Interferometry equation in the form of linear equations
• Limited (u,v) coverage makes this set equation as ill-posed problem. It cannot be solved because number of solved parameters is larger than that of equations
• If we can solve these equations directly (i.e., without 0 padding), the image should be free from 0-padding effect (no side-lobes, super-resolution !?)
![Page 19: AGN studies with EHT and EATING VLBI Mareki Honma Mizusawa VLBI observatory, NAOJ](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfe81a28abf838cb652c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Example : multiple point sources
• Point sources within
synthesized beam
• “Standard image”
cannot distinguish them
• Compressive sensing
image can separate them

BH Shadow• “Standard image” marginally
resolve the BH shadow shape
• CS image can trace the
ring / crescent shape

Plan for 2013 Sgr A* event
• VERA monitoring every 3 weeks (proposed by Akiyama)
• Additional VERA+KVN imaging (TOO-type ?, but still commissioning phase)
• Collaboration with KVN team
Single dish monitoring (22/43/86/129 GHz)
+ 3 station imaging up on flaring status

What to do with “EATING” VLBIEATING (East Asia To Italy Nearly Global) VLBI•Target sources: M87/Sgr A*, Blazars (+ masers)•Monitoring with higher resolution !
(better image, better astrometry)
(one way to fill up the UV hole is to include Green Land Telescope)

Role of EATING VLBI in EHT era
• Follow-up with mm/cm VLBI with VERA/ KVN/ Italian VLBI network will be important
Sgr A* : monitoring flare in 2013 ?
multi-freq. variability
M87 : mm-wave imaging and monitoring of
jet acceleration
blazars : GENJI-type monitoring
tracing both optically thin / thick regimes
