Accretion Disk Sizes and Temperature Profiles in Lensed Quasars: NIR Microlensing Challenges Thin Disk Theory
V. Motta, E. Mediavilla
Microlensing and reverberation mapping measurements of quasar accretion disk sizes and temperature gradients disagree with thin disk theory predictions. Previous microlensing resul…
Microlensing time-scales and flux magnification probabilities of a sample of 204 lensed quasars
F. Ávila-Vera, V. Motta, E. Mediavilla
Quasar microlensing is both a very useful tool in cosmology and astrophysics, and a source of uncertainty in some studies like the determination of the Hubble constant from lensed…
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…
The Abundance of Clustered Primordial Black Holes from Quasar Microlensing
Sven Heydenreich, Evencio Mediavilla, Jorge Jiménez-Vicente +2
While elementary particles are the favored candidate for the elusive dark matter, primordial black holes (PBHs) have also been considered to fill that role. Gravitational microlens…
First Direct Evidence for Keplerian Rotation in Quasar Inner Broad Line Regions
C. Fian, J. Jiménez-Vicente, E. Mediavilla +4
We introduce a novel method to derive rotation curves with light-day spatial resolution of the inner regions of lensed quasars. We aim to probe the kinematics of the inner part of…
Revealing the inner workings of the lensed quasar SDSS J1339+1310: Insights from microlensing analysis
C. Fian, J. A. Muñoz, J. Jiménez-Vicente +4
We aim to unveil the structure of the continuum and broad-emission line (BEL) emitting regions in the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1339+1310 by examining the distinct signat…
