Welcome

Welcome to the Joint Institute for VLBI, an European Research Infrastructure Consortium. Our primary task is to operate the data processor for the European VLBI Network (EVN). JIVE provides support to the world-wide EVN user community and also supports EVN operations. JIVE is hosted by the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON).

EHT pinpoints dark heart of the nearest radio galaxy An international team anchored by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration, which is known for capturing the first image of a black hole in the galaxy Messier 87, has now imaged the heart of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A in unprecedented detail. The astronomers pinpoint the location of the central supermassive black hole and reveal how a gigantic jet is being born. Most remarkably, only the outer edges of the jet seem to emit radiation, which challenges our theoretical models of jets. This work, led by Michael Janssen from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn and Radboud University Nijmegen is published in Nature Astronomy on 19 July 2021.
