چکیده
Observing the dynamics of compact astrophysical objects provides insights into their inner workings, thereby probing physics under extreme conditions. The immediate vicinity an active supermassive black hole with its event horizon, photon ring, accretion disk, and relativistic jets is a perfect place to study general relativity magneto-hydrodynamics. observations M87* Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) by Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) allows investigate dynamical processes on time scales days. Compared regular radio interferometers, VLBI networks typically have fewer antennas low signal noise ratios (SNRs). Furthermore, source variable, prohibiting integration over improve SNR. Here, we present imaging algorithm that copes data scarcity temporal evolution, while providing uncertainty quantification. Our views task as Bayesian inference problem time-varying brightness, exploits correlation structure in time, reconstructs ${2+1+1}$ dimensional time-variable spectrally resolved image at once. We apply this method EHT observation validate our approach synthetic data. time- frequency-resolved reconstruction confirms variable structures emission ring. indicates extended outside ring itself.

Time-resolved measurements from speckle interferometry.
We present time-resolved measurements by speckle interferometry of the light scattered by a liquid medium. Measurements were performed by use of reflectance geometry and are compared with results obtained in the same conditions with a femtosecond laser and a streak camera. The setup was also tested in vivo on the forearm of a human volunteer to demonstrate the potential utility of such a setup ...
متن کاملUsing time-frequency analysis to determine time-resolved detonation velocity with microwave interferometry.
Two time-frequency analysis methods based on the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) were used to determine time-resolved detonation velocities with microwave interferometry (MI). The results were directly compared to well-established analysis techniques consisting of a peak-picking routine as well as a phase unwrapping method (i.e., quadrature analysis). ...
متن کاملProbing real-space and time-resolved correlation functions with many-body Ramsey interferometry.
We propose to use Ramsey interferometry and single-site addressability, available in synthetic matter such as cold atoms or trapped ions, to measure real-space and time-resolved spin correlation functions. These correlation functions directly probe the excitations of the system, which makes it possible to characterize the underlying many-body states. Moreover, they contain valuable information ...
متن کاملSpace- and time-resolved spectrophotometry in microsystems.
This work describes a simple optical method for obtaining, in a single still-capture image, the continuous absorbance spectra of samples at multiple locations of microsystems. This technique uses an unmodified bright-field microscope, an array of microlenses, and a diffraction grating to disperse the light transmitted by samples of 10- to 500-microm dimensions. By analyzing in a single image th...
متن کاملMathematical Structures of Space-time * Mathematical Structures of Space-time
At first we introduce the space-time manifold and we compare some aspects of Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry such as the distance function and the relations between topology and curvature. We then define spinor structures in general relativity, and the conditions for their existence are discussed. The causality conditions are studied through an analysis of strong causality, stable causality ...
