Abstract
Abstract Following up on a recent analysis by Psaltis et al (2020 Phys. Rev. Lett. 125 141104), we show that the observed shadow size of M87* can be used to unambiguously and robustly constrain the black hole geometry in the vicinity of the circular photon orbit. Constraints on the post-Newtonian weak-field expansion of the black hole’s metric are instead more subtle to obtain and interpret, as they rely on combining the shadow-size measurement with suitable theoretical priors. We provide examples showing that post-Newtonian constraints resulting from shadow-size measurements should be handled with extreme care. We also discuss the similarities and complementarity between the EHT shadow measurements and black-hole gravitational quasi-normal modes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
