Microlensing analysis of 14.5-year light curves in SDSS J1004+4112: Quasar accretion disk size and intracluster stellar mass fraction
R. Forés-Toribio, J. A. Muñoz, C. Fian +2
Context. The gravitational lens system SDSS J1004+4112 was the first known example of a quasar lensed by a galaxy cluster. The interest in this system has been renewed following th…
Probing the structure of the lensed quasar SDSS J1004+4112 through microlensing analysis of spectroscopic data
C. Fian, J. A. Muñoz, R. Forés-Toribio +5
We aim to reveal the sizes of the continuum and broad emission line (BEL) emitting regions in the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1004+4112 by analyzing the unique signatures o…
Astro2020 Science White Paper - Quasar Microlensing: Revolutionizing our Understanding of Quasar Structure and Dynamics
Leonidas Moustakas, Matthew O'Dowd, Timo Anguita +20
Microlensing by stars within distant galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses of multiply-imaged quasars, provides a unique and direct measurement of the internal structure o…
Probing the Broad Line Region and the Accretion Disk in the Lensed Quasars HE0435-1223, WFI2033-4723, and HE2149-2745 using Gravitational Microlensing
V. Motta, E. Mediavilla, K. Rojas +3
We use single-epoch spectroscopy of three gravitationally lensed quasars, HE0435-1223, WFI2033-4723, and HE2149-2745, to study their inner structure (BLR and continuum source). We…
Observations of the Lensed Quasar Q2237+0305 with CanariCam at GTC
H. Vives-Arias, J. A. Munoz, C. S. Kochanek +2
We present new mid-IR observations of the quadruply lensed quasar Q2237+0305 taken with CanariCam on the Gran Telescopio Canarias. Mid-IR emission by hot dust, unlike the optical a…
Resolving the Innermost Region of the Accretion Disk of the Lensed Quasar Q 2237+0305 through Gravitational Microlensing
E. Mediavilla, J. Jimenez-Vicente, J. A. Munoz +1
We study three high magnification microlensing events, generally recognized as probable caustic crossings, in the optical light curves of the multiply imaged quasar Q 2237+0305. We…
