The Polarized Image of a Synchrotron Emitting Ring of Gas Orbiting a Black Hole

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo, Michael D. Johnson, Zachary Gelles, Elizabeth Himwich | Summary: Synchrotron radiation from hot gas near a black hole results in a polarized image. The image polarization is determined by effects including the orientation of the magnetic field in the emitting […]
