Four synthetic datasets based on two realizations of two standard M87* models are presented. GRRT frame numbers are displayed in the top left corners. The top row shows the total intensity ray-traced ground-truth model images on logarithmic scales with varying dynamic ranges. Visibility amplitudes on a logarithmic scale and phases of corresponding synthetic data realizations are displayed with thermal noise error bars as a function of baseline length in the middle and bottom rows, respectively. The measurements shown can come from different orientations at the same baseline length. For better readability, the visibilities have been averaged over scan durations, amplitudes lower than 0.008 Jy have been clipped, and the values of the different Stokes parameters are each offset by 50 Mλ on the x-axis. Spin a* = s and Rhigh = r parameters are listed in a shorthand notation as as and Rr in the top-right corner of each model image.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
