Example of model images reconstruction with the synthetic EHT array. For display purposes color maps saturate at 0.001 Jy px⁻¹. Left column: original synthetic images generated with our model (same as Fig. 4). Middle column: model images as processed by the interstellar scattering screen (Johnson et al. 2018). Right column: MEM reconstruction of images, observed by a synthetic EHT 2017 array (Chael et al. 2016). Fitting an elliptical Gaussian component to images we find a characteristic size [major axis, minor axis] of [97,72] μas for the top row image and [100,89] μas for the bottom row image.
