Strong GR: The Black Hole Shadow
Bardeen 1973 Luminet 1979
Shadow Diameter:
Spinning (a=1) Dsh = 9/2 * Rsch
Non-spinning (a=0) Dsh = sqrt(27) * Rsch
Shadow size and shape encodes GR (e.g., Johannsen & Psaltis 2010).

EHT Specifications: The Next 2-3 Years • Increase stations from 3 to 8: baseline number
grows from 3 to 28 (n*(n-1)/2). • Bandwidth increase from 1 GHz to 16 GHz. • Collecting area increase by x10. • Impact:
– Sensitivity increase by x40: Long baselines. – Full closure phase information: modeling/imaging. – Full polarization information: magnetic fields. – Time domain: time resolving BH/jet dynamics.

Summary• 1.3mm VLBI confirms ~few Rsch sizes for SgrA* & M87. Definitive small scale polarized structures: ordered fields. • Imaging an Event Horizon and observing BH orbits are within reach in <3 years. • Required technical work is low-risk: early results validate all systems. • Considerable work to do: requires support of community. • Event Horizon Telescope fully on-line by 2015: G2? • www.eventhorizontelescope.org

Big Questions
!• Is there an Event Horizon? • Does GR hold near BH? • How does matter accrete/outflow near a BH? • Do Black Holes have spin? • How do Black Holes launch jets?
