Detection of colour variations from gravitational microlensing observations in the quadruple quasar HE0435-1223: Implications for the accretion disk
Christian Sorgenfrei, Robert W. Schmidt, Joachim Wambsganss
We present monitoring observations of quasar microlensing in the quadruple quasar HE0435-1223. The microlensing-induced light curves of the quasar images are chromatic, i.e. they d…
Improving the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars with Gaia proper motion data
C. Sorgenfrei, R. W. Schmidt, J. Wambsganss
We show how to significantly improve difference image analysis (DIA) of gravitationally lensed quasars over long periods of time using Gaia proper motions. DIA requires the subtrac…
OGLE-2014-BLG-1186: gravitational microlensing providing evidence for a planet orbiting the foreground star or for a close binary source?
M. Dominik, E. Bachelet, V. Bozza +40
(abridged) Using the particularly long gravitational microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-1186 with a time-scale ~ 300 d, we present a methodology for identifying the na…
Ground-based parallax confirmed by Spitzer: binary microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020
Tianshu Wang, Wei Zhu, Shude Mao +83
We present the analysis of the binary gravitational microlensing event MOA-2015-BLG-020. The event has a fairly long timescale (about 63 days) and thus the light curve deviates sig…
High-resolution Imaging of Transiting Extrasolar Planetary systems (HITEP). I. Lucky imaging observations of 101 systems in the southern hemisphere
D. F. Evans, J. Southworth, P. F. L. Maxted +33
(abridged) Context. Wide binaries are a potential pathway for the formation of hot Jupiters. The binary fraction among host stars is an important discriminator between competing fo…
Zooming into the broad line region of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305 = the Einstein Cross: III. Determination of the size and structure of the CIV and CIII] emitting regions using microlensing
D. Sluse, R. Schmidt, F. Courbin +6
We aim to use microlensing taking place in the lensed quasar Q2237+0305 to study the structure of the broad line region and measure the size of the region emitting the CIV and CIII…
