摘要:

一种新的图像重建算法PRIMO,应用于事件视界望远镜(EHT)收集的M87黑洞干涉测量数据,生成了一幅达到望远镜阵列固有分辨率的图像。PRIMO基于从大量高保真、基于物理的黑洞图像模拟库中学习一组紧凑的图像构建模块。它利用这些模块填补因阵列中望远镜数量较少而导致的数据傅里叶空间覆盖稀疏。本文表明,这种方法有充分依据。由于黑洞及其内吸积流图像的角范围有限,傅里叶空间域被高度平滑,其相关尺度至多与EHT傅里叶空间覆盖中数据间隙的大小相当。因此,PRIMO或其他机器学习算法可以在阵列分辨率内忠实地重建图像,无需生成不受数据约束的信息。我们还讨论了特征图像的完备性和所得表示的紧凑性。我们证明,PRIMO提供了一组紧凑的特征图像,其复杂度足以重建远超训练集范围的广泛图像。

英文摘要:

A new image-reconstruction algorithm, PRIMO, applied to the interferometric data of the M87 black hole collected with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), resulted in an image that reached the native resolution of the telescope array. PRIMO is based on learning a compact set of image building blocks obtained from a large library of high-fidelity, physics-based simulations of black hole images. It uses these building blocks to fill the sparse Fourier coverage of the data that results from the small number of telescopes in the array. In this paper, we show that this approach is readily justified. Since the angular extent of the image of the black hole and of its inner accretion flow is finite, the Fourier space domain is heavily smoothed, with a correlation scale that is at most comparable to the sizes of the data gaps in the coverage of Fourier space with the EHT. Consequently, PRIMO or other machine-learning algorithms can faithfully reconstruct the images without the need to generate information that is unconstrained by the data within the resolution of the array. We also address the completeness of the eigenimages and the compactness of the resulting representation. We show that PRIMO provides a compact set of eigenimages that have sufficient complexity to recreate a broad set of images well beyond those in the training set.
