Simulating quasar microlensing light curves: High magnification events

Favio Neira, Timo Anguita, Georgios Vernardos

Quasar microlensing can be used to constrain important astrophysical properties, such as the accretion disk size and the amount of stars in the lensing galaxy. The associated brigh…

LTDE: The Lens Time Delay Experiment I. From pixels to light curves

Favio Neira, Frédéric Courbin, Frédéric Dux +1

Gravitationally lensed quasars offer a unique opportunity to study cosmological and extragalactic phenomena, using reliable light curves of the lensed images. This requires accurat…

TDCOSMO XVII. New time delays in 22 lensed quasars from optical monitoring with the ESO-VST 2.6m and MPG 2.2m telescopes

Frédéric Dux, Martin Millon, Aymeric Galan +29

We present new time delays, the main ingredient of time delay cosmography, for 22 lensed quasars resulting from high-cadence r-band monitoring on the 2.6 m ESO VLT Survey Telescope…

Predicting High-magnification Events in Microlensed Quasars in the Era of LSST using Recurrent Neural Networks

Joshua Fagin, Eric Paic, Favio Neira +6

Upcoming widefield surveys, such as the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), will monitor thousands of strongly lensed quasars over a 10 yr period. Many of t…

PSJ2107-1611: a new wide-separation, quadruply imaged lensed quasar with flux ratio anomalies

Frédéric Dux, Cameron Lemon, Frédéric Courbin +4

We report the discovery of PSJ2107-1611, a fold-configuration 4.3"-separation quadruply lensed quasar with a bright lensed arc. It was discovered using a convolutional neural netwo…

Nine lensed quasars and quasar pairs discovered through spatially-extended variability in Pan-STARRS

Frédéric Dux, Cameron Lemon, Frédéric Courbin +7

We present the proof-of-concept of a method to find strongly lensed quasars using their spatially-extended photometric variability through difference imaging in cadenced imaging su…

A Quasar Microlensing Light Curve Generator for LSST

Favio Neira, Timo Anguita, Georgios Vernardos

We present a tool to generate mock quasar microlensing light curves and sample them according to any observing strategy. An updated treatment of the fixed and random velocity compo…
