Abstract

It is an exciting time for the study of black holes. The Event Horizon Telescope is due to release the first image of an event horizon, namely that of the black hole Sgr A* at the center of our galaxy (Balick & Brown 1974; Brown 1982). This comes hot on the heels of the first direct detection of a binary black hole merger, using gravitational waves (Abbott et al. 2011).
