Abstract

An alternative interpretation of the EHT observations of M87, involving a strongly magnetized ergomagnetosphere, that expels essentially of the gas supplied at large radius as a jet-collimating MHD wind is described. In this case, the emitting regions are approximated as rapidly evolving flares or sparks. Six generic consequences, that can be sought in existing data, are described.
