Imaging the Event Horizon of Black Holes (BLACKHOLECAM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2020,
Gravity is successfully described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity (GR), governing the structure of our entire universe. Yet it remains the least understood of all forces in nature, resisting unification with quantum physics. One of the most fundamental predictions of GR are black holes (BHs). Their defining feature is the event horizon, the surface that light cannot escape and where tim ...

A Preparatory phase proposal for the Square Kilometre Array (PrepSKA)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. It is a machine designed to answer some of the big questions of our time: what is Dark Energy? Was Einstein right about gravity? What is the nature of dark matter? Can we detect gravitational waves? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What was the origin of cosmic magnetism? How do Eart ...
