Abstract

Black Hole Close-Up: M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy about 55 million light-years away. Accretion of matter onto its central massive black hole is thought to power its relativistic jet. To probe structures on scales similar to that of the black hole's event horizon, Doeleman et al. (p. 355 , published online 27 September) observed the relativistic jet in M87 at a wavelength of 1.3 mm using the Event Horizon Telescope, a special purpose, very-long-baseline interferometry array consisting of four radio telescopes located in Arizona, California, and Hawaii. The analysis suggests that the accretion disk that powers the jet orbits in the same direction as the spin of the black hole.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
