Regularized Maximum Likelihood Methods for Black Hole Imaging
Andy Nilipour
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) produced the first image of the black hole shadow in 2019, and advancements in imaging algorithms have only improved performance since then. We present VLBISkyRegularizers.jl, a regularized maximum likelihood (RML) black hole imaging software. Based on the Bayesian imaging package Comrade.jl, we take full advantage of the Julia language to make VLBISkyRegularizers.jl faster and more modular and flexible than comparable RML packages.
