This article presents an interdisciplinary effort to develop and share sustainable knowledge
necessary to analyze, understand, and use published scientific results to advance
reproducibility in multimessenger astrophysics. Specifically, we target the breakthrough work
associated with generating the first image of a black hole, called M87. The Event Horizon
Telescope (EHT) Collaboration computed the image. Based on the artifacts made available
by the EHT, we deliver documentation, code, and a computational environment to reproduce …

The paper Reproducibility of the First Image of a Black Hole in the Galaxy M87 from the
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration by Patel et al. aims to reproduce the M87*
imaging results presented by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) from observations made in
2017, as well as provide documentation and computational environments that allow others
to reproduce the results more easily in the future. The paper gives an overview of the
procedures used to generate the images, as well as clearly lays out what software and …
