Description

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is an international collaboration of 11 telescopes and two correlator sites capturing groundbreaking images of black holes. Traditionally, data collected during observations is stored on physical disks and shipped to processing facilities, causing delays in confirming telescope configurations. This new precheck demonstration leverages high-speed research and education (R&E) networks to transfer a subset of data in near-real time to MIT Haystack Observatory. This enables rapid validation of site setups, reducing the risk of errors during critical campaigns. International Networks at Indiana University, in collaboration with global partners will demonstrate real time data processing and fringe detection to highlight the impact of advanced networking and collaboration on scientific discovery.
