CLASS B0827+525: `Dark lens' or binary radio-loud quasar?
L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn, C. D. Fassnacht +12
We present radio, optical, near-infrared and spectroscopic observations of the source B0827+525. We consider this source as the best candidate from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (…
A radio-microlensing caustic crossing in B1600+434?
L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn, J. Wambsganss +1
First, we review the current status of the detection of strong `external' variability in the CLASS gravitational B1600+434, focusing on the 1998 VLA 8.5-GHz and 1998/9 WSRT multi-f…
Microlensing of multiply-imaged compact radio sources: Evidence for compact halo objects in the disk galaxy of B1600+434
L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn
We present the first unambiguous case of external variability of a radio gravitational lens, CLASS B1600+434. The VLA 8.5-GHz difference light curve of the lensed images, taking th…
Micro & strong lensing with the Square Kilometer Array: The mass--function of compact objects in high--redshift galaxies
L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn
We present the results from recent VLA 8.5-GHz and WSRT 1.4 and 4.9-GHz monitoring campaigns of the CLASS gravitational lens B1600+434 and show how the observed variations argue st…
