"Testing Fundamental Physics with the Event Horizon Telescope"

<https://www.ias.edu/sns/events/ias-physics-group-meeting-14><https://www.ias.edu/sns/events/ias-physics-group-meeting-14>
Location: Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Time: 1:45 PM

Speaker: Lia Medeiros, Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS

*Abstract:* New horizon-scale images of the Galactic Center black hole 
Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) recently published by the Event Horizon 
Telescope (EHT) allow for new strong-field tests of the Kerr metric in a 
previously unexplored regime. I will discuss the recent EHT observations 
of Sgr A* with a particular focus on how these new results can be used 
to test fundamental physics. I will briefly touch upon the earlier M87 
results as well. I will also discuss future prospects for the EHT 
including additional telescopes and a shorter wavelength. Finally, I 
will introduce a new machine-learning algorithm for EHT data analysis 
that uses a large library of high-fidelity simulations as a training set.
