Sean Dougall selected for NASA Arizona Space Grant Internship
The project aims to characterize the images of black holes using image-domain feature extraction of the black holes shadow parameters. In short, we want to be able to use the observed accretion flow, or photon ring, around the black hole as a proxy for the size of the...
