I am really excited, I get to participate in the go/no go decision tonight with EHT Central Command!! We’re going to decide if tomorrow is the big day for Sgr A* (remember, my favorite black hole), when we might observe for something like 10 hours. What is extra cool is that we have some overlapping coverage with three X-ray satellites in orbit (Chandra, NuSTAR, Swift), as well as hopefully also the VLT, which is the premier European-run optical/IR facility at the moment, in Chile. It is very hard to get so many instruments to look at the same object at the same time, so if all goes well we’ll have some amazing data to model!
