The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) shook the world with the first ever picture of the environment around the event horizon of a black hole.
Since then, it has taken a picture of another black hole, published another picture of the first black hole taken a year later, and published several papers about the magnetic fields around the black holes. Professor Derek Ward-Thompson and Drs Brett Patterson and Tim Walton are members of the EHT Collaboration, along with a number of students. They specialise in modelling the magnetic fields around the black holes.
