SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the new reconstruction of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) image of the M87 black hole using the PRIMO algorithm. This novel dictionary-learning-based algorithm leverages high-fidelity simulations of accreting black holes to enhance image quality from the 2017 data set. By analyzing correlations in interferometric data, PRIMO achieves high-fidelity images despite sparse coverage, reaching the nominal resolution of the EHT array. This advancement marks a significant improvement in black hole imaging techniques.

TL;DR
A reconstruction of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) image of the M87 black hole from the 2017 data set
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/acc32d

From the abstract, "We present a new reconstruction of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) image of the M87 black hole from the 2017 data set. We use PRIMO, a novel dictionary-learning-based algorithm that uses high-fidelity simulations of accreting black holes as a training set. By learning the correlations between the different regions of the space of interferometric data, this approach allows us to recover high-fidelity images even in the presence of sparse coverage and reach the nominal resolution of the EHT array."
