Abstract

Within the pseudo-complex General Relativity, simulations of accretion disks for SgrA* and M87 are presented at the frequency 250 GHz as used in the Event Horizon Telescope. Differences to the standard theory of General Relativity are pointed out, as the presence of a dark ring followed by a bright one near the position of the black hole.
