New AI tool 'kine' reconstructs movies of black hole plasma jets

Researchers led by Foschi and colleagues, publishing in Nature, developed an artificial-intelligence algorithm called kine that reconstructs continuous, movie-like views of relativistic plasma jets from black holes using sparse observational data. These jets, which blast material at over 98% of the speed of light, have historically been studied only through isolated snapshots, making it hard to trace their evolution over time.

New 'kine' algorithm reconstructs video from variable VLBI radio telescope data

Researchers developed an imaging method called kine that turns interferometric radio telescope measurements into dynamic video reconstructions rather than static snapshots. The technique relies on a neural field representation of a source's changing brightness distribution and was tested extensively on synthetic datasets before comparison with the established CLEAN method on real observations.
