The X-Ray Continuum Emission Region in the Lensed Quasar SDSS J133907.23+131038.6 is Much Smaller than the Accretion Disk
Christopher W. Morgan, James B. Margeson, Gilberto Garcia +4
We analyze microlensing variability in 15 seasons of optical monitoring data and 4 epochs of new X-ray observations of the doubly-imaged gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J133907.…
NuSTAR Hard X-ray Monitoring of Gravitationally Lensed Quasar RX J1131-1231
Cora A. DeFrancesco, Xinyu Dai, Mark Mitchell +2
The X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is believed to come from a combination of inverse Compton scattering of photons from the accretion disk and reprocessing of the…
A characteristic optical variability timescale in astrophysical accretion disks
Colin J. Burke, Yue Shen, Omer Blaes +8
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei produce continuum radiation at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. Physical processes in the accretion fl…
Resolving the inner accretion flow towards the central supermassive black hole in SDSS J1339+1310
V. N. Shalyapin, L. J. Goicoechea, C. W. Morgan +2
We studied the accretion disc structure in the doubly imaged lensed quasar SDSS J1339+1310 using -band light curves and UV-visible to near-IR (NIR) spectra from the first 11 obs…
Near infrared and optical continuum emission region size measurements in the gravitationally lensed quasars Q0957+561 and SBS0909+532
Matthew A. Cornachione, Christopher W. Morgan, Hayden R. Burger +5
We present a microlensing analysis of updated light curves in three filters, --band, --band, and --band, for the gravitationally lensed quasars Q0957+561 and SBS0909+532.…
Quasar Microlensing Variability Studies Favor Shallow Accretion Disk Temperature Profiles
Matthew A. Cornachione, Christopher W. Morgan
We compare the microlensing-based continuum emission region size measurements in a sample of 15 gravitationally lensed quasars with estimates of luminosity-based thin disk sizes to…
