Seeing the Unseeable: First Results from the Event Horizon Telescope and the physical origin of the asymmetric ring

Monika Moscibrodzka
Radboud University, The Netherlands

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global effort to construct an Earth-sized virtual radio telescope array, with the ultimate goal to actually make pictures of some nearby supermassive black holes. The initial results of the first full EHT observing run in April 2017 were presented at six press conferences on 10 April 2019. In my talk I will overview the EHT results with focus on numerical modeling of black holes and physical interpretation of the asymmetric ring.
