Predicted EHT images at λ = 1.3 mm, for the five best-fit models shown with white circles in Figure 8. The left column shows the results of the direct ray-tracing simulations, while the right column shows the scatter-broadened images. In the disk-dominated SANE simulations, the images have the characteristic crescent shape of a Doppler boosted accretion flow and a clear imprint of the black-hole shadow. In the jet-dominated MAD simulations, the image is formed primarily by the emission in the jet footprints but the shadow is still visible.
