Passes notability guidelines. The black hole image received wide national coverage (as the subject also made news defending Katie Bouman, including on https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/12/us/andrew-chael-katie-bouman-black-hole-image-trnd/index.html CNN, the https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/04/12/trolls-hijacked-scientists-image-attack-katie-bouman-they-picked-wrong-astrophysicist Washington Post, https://people.com/human-interest/male-scientist-claps-back-trolls-discredit-katie-bouman/ People magazine, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/black-hole-katie-bouman-andrew-chael-sexist-trolls_n_5cb08f0de4b098b9a2d2bb5d Huffington Post, https://www.foxnews.com/science/internet-trolls-discredit-katie-boumans-black-hole-project Fox News, https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/first-picture-black-hole-made-katie-bouman-overnight-celebrity-then-n994081 NBC News, and https://astronomy.com/news/2019/04/heres-what-scientists-think-their-first-picture-of-a-black-hole-might-look-like Astronomy magazine, to name a few. It appears a https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/katie-bouman-hardly-knew-what-a-black-hole-was-her-algorithm-helped-us-see-one PBS article featuring Bouman prompted the brouhaha, then social media ran with it. As a member of the team, Chael, according to reliable source reporting, wrote most of the code for one of the 3 software imaging pipelines that simulated the black-hole image, while Bouman wrote the algorithm, which is why the two have been singled out from the black-hole team of researchers (although social media seems to have missed the two's true roles). Thus, Chael's role -- and notability -- in creating the black hole image has been shown in the significant coverage in mainstream news that discussed it and is still covering the issue. This is not a . Besides the significant role the subject played in simulating the Black Hole image, his notability is also shown in his having received a http://www.stsci.edu/stsci-research/fellowships/nasa-hubble-fellowship-program/meet-the-fellows NASA Hubble fellowship and a https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/news/congratulations-andrew-chael Harvard award for best disertation. Add that to his continuing work on the Black Hole through his post-graduate research work at the Black Hole Initiative and as an assistant professor at Harvard, and notability is shown. The subject clearly passes . Also, can the nom
