Live-Blog zum Event Horizon Telescope Reveal
Zwei Jahrzehnte ist es nun her, dass diese Computersimulationen in dem Paper „Viewing the Shadow of the Black Hole at the Galactic Center“ erschienen sind: zu sehen das mutmaßliche Schwarze Loch Sgr A* im Zentrum der Milchstraße, bei 0.6 mm (links) und 1.3 mm Wellenlänge rechts), für den Fall schneller Rotation (oben) bzw. keiner Rotation (unten), unter Berücksichtigung der leider ziemlich gravierenden Streuung derart kurzer Radiowellen im interstellaren Medium. Anfang 2000 hatte das MPI für Radioastronomie ob dieses Papers die Hoffnung ausgesprochen, dass „die Weiterentwicklung bereits vorhandener astronomischer Beobachtungsmethoden es Astronomen bald erlauben könnte, die verworrenen Wege von Photonen zu verfolgen, die nur um Haaresbreite den Fängen eines Schwarzen Lochs entkommen sind“: Die entscheidende Entdeckung war nämlich gewesen, dass der ‚Schatten‘ des Schwarzen Lochs vor umgebendem strahlendem Gas durch die Lichtablenkung in seinem eigenen extremen Schwerefeld winkelmäßig deutlich vergrößert wird, wenn auch nur auf etwa 50 Mikrobogensekunden.
