Out in A&A: New EHT images reveal unexpected polarization flips at M87*
New images from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration have revealed a dynamic environment with changing polarization patterns in the magnetic fields of the supermassive black hole M87*.
The EVN seminars are back this fall
The European VLBI Network will continue its successful online seminars, showcasing the power of VLBI in astronomical research. In the first half of 2025, the EVN hosted two engaging talks that presented cutting-edge VLBI results relevant to the broader astronomical community. These seminars covered innovative approaches and the potential of interferometers to reinvent SETI (by Michael Garrett), as well as how to explore multi-messenger astronomy with current observatories and future frontiers (by Marica Branchesi).
