天文及天文物理研究所參與建造及運轉的阿塔卡瑪大型毫米及次毫米波陣列(ALMA)與格陵蘭望遠鏡(GLT),加入2018年全球連線觀測並使用新的毫米波段觀測,成功同時獲得黑洞吸積流及噴流影像,首度證實兩者間的聯繫。

Co-leading an international research team, the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA), successfully produced an image with a new millimeter-wavelength observation. The image underlines for the first time the connection between the accretion flow near the M87 supermassive black hole and the origin of the jet. The new image of an accretion flow of M87 black hole and a powerful jet was obtained with the GMVA, complemented by the Greenland Telescope (GLT) and the phased Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
