*** From East-Asia to super-massive black holes ***
Date and Venue
Date : 10/Dec/2012 10:00 -- 17:00
Venue: Lecture room at NAOJ Mitaka
Aim of the workshop
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), an international collaboration to build the unique world array of sub-mm VLBI, has been pioneering study of super-massive black holes with ultra-high resolution. In order to summarize the related activities in East Asia and to promote effective collaborations toward their ultimate project goals, we would like to hold a one-day workshop, where researchers working on mm/sub-mm VLBI and/or black hole science in EA region gather, exchange information and thoughts, and discuss the future directions.
