Modeling of Lightcurves from Reconnection-powered Very High-energy Flares from M87*

The black hole at the center of M87 is observed to flare regularly in the very high-energy (VHE) band, with photon energies ≳100 GeV. The rapid variability, which can be as short as 2 days in the VHE lightcurve, constrains some of the flares to originate close to the black hole. Magnetic reconnectio...
