https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging This python code was part of the imaging, analysis, and simulation software for radio interferometry that led to the historical first 'image' of a black hole.

https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging This python code is responsible for the fairly recent imaging of the black-hole (i.e. imaging, analysis, and simulation software for radio interferometry). It's extremely easy to digest despite the…

Is this the correct repo? https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging/graphs/contributors I didn't realize this was public code. It looks like one "achael" is the author of this, though.

…to GitHub are numbers generated by the code and stored in text files in the "models" folder. https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging I'm not trying to diminish his work but saying big numbers because they sound impressive is stupid.

> https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging/graphs/contributors Huh, I wonder how accurate this is. All the code is beyond me in any case, I'm in no position to judge the relative value of any of it.
