Description
Black holes hold a tremendous discovery potential, and experiments such as the Event Horizon Telescope and its next generation upgrade could provide important cues about their structure. I will present a pedagogical discussion on the most relevant features in black-hole images (e.g. photon rings) and their detectability using realistic telescope arrays. I will focus on the structure of Fourier-plane data when expressed in terms of standard interferometric variables known as closure quantities, and motivate the use of machine learning to identify specific features and quantify observational uncertainties.
