Timeline
In 2011 he proposed that white dwarfs might support a habitable zone for planets which migrate inwards after the red giant phase, and that these could be found with transit surveys. In 2020 a transiting giant planet was found to orbit a white dwarf near this zone with the TESS spacecraft.
In 2005, he was one of the first to show that exoplanet transits can vary over time due to accompanying planets. He coined the term transit timing variation to describe this.
In 2003, he predicted the possibility of the discovery of gravitational lensing in binary stars with Kepler (for example, a white dwarf with a sun-like star), which was also observed with the telescope.
In 2000, together with Fulvio Melia and Heino Falcke, he proposed the possibility of observing the event horizon of the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way (Sagittarius A *) with interconnected radio telescopes (VLBI at submillimeter wavelengths). This was implemented as the Event Horizon Telescope which detected the shadow of the black hole in the galaxy M87 in 2019, confirming a prediction of General Relativity.
Agol is a professor and astrophysicist at the University of Washington in the Department of Astronomy. He obtained a B.A. in Physics and Mathematics from University of California, Berkeley in 1992 and a PhD in Physics from University of California, Santa Barbara in 1997 with Omer Blaes. He was awarded a Chandra Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2000, which he took to Caltech. He arrived at the University of Washington in 2003 as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to the rank of full Professor in 2014. He advised former graduate student Jason Steffen and former postdoc Sarah Ballard.
Eric Agol (born May 13, 1970 in Hollywood, California ) is an American astronomer and astrophysicist who was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017.
He proposed the measurement of the infrared phase-variations of Hot Jupiters with the Spitzer Space Telescope and invented the longitudinal mapping from the phase curve, creating a Weather map of the exoplanet HD 189733 b.
