Modelling Analyses of Sgr A* Observations with the Event Horizon Telescope

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global VLBI array observing black holes at millimetre wavelengths. The 2017 EHT observations yielded the first ever total intensity images of Sgr A*, the central supermassive black hole in the Milky Way, and enabled us to measure the black hole mass and perform tests of general relativity and accretion physics in the vicinity of black holes. In this talk, I will give an overview of the 2017 EHT observations and describe the imaging and modelling analyses conducted to obtain the images of Sgr A* and measure its astrophysical properties.
