Description
The planet-size network of millimeter antennas Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has recently deliv-ered images of the surroundings of the supermassive compact object M87* at the center of the galaxy Messier 87. Such images are crucial to better understand the physics at play in a strong gravitational field environment. They might also allow to probe the extreme relativistic effects on the radiation emitted close to the compact object.
In this talk I will discuss how future extensions of the EHT with space-based antennas might allow us to probe with great precision the properties of the central compact object.
