Microlensing of the Lensed Quasar Sdss0924+0219
We analyze V, I and H band HST images and two seasons of R-band monitoring data for the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS0924+0219. We clearly see that image D is a point-source image of the quasar at the center of its host galaxy. We can easily track the host galaxy of the quasar close to image D because microlensing has provided a natural coronograph that suppresses the flux of the quasar im...
متن کاملAn Optical Time-Delay for the Lensed BAL Quasar
We present optical V and i-band light curves of the gravitationally lensed BAL quasar HE 2149−2745. The data, obtained with the 1.5m Danish Telescope (ESO-La Silla) between October 1998 and December 2000, are the first from a long-term project aimed at monitoring selected lensed quasars in the Southern Hemisphere. A time delay of 103±12 days is determined from the light curves. In addition, VLT...
متن کاملTime Delay Measurement of the Lensed Quasar He1104−1805
We have measured the time delay between the two images of the gravitationally lensed quasar HE1104−1805 by combining observations made with the Wise Observatory 1m telescope and published observations of this system by Schechter et al., spanning a total of five years, from 1997 to 2002. Based on a variety of techniques, we find that the best fit time delay is −161 −7,−11 days. The 68% and 95% c...
متن کاملKernel regression estimates of time delays between gravitationally lensed fluxes
Strongly lensed variable quasars can serve as precise cosmological probes, provided that time delays between the image fluxes can be accurately measured. A number of methods have been proposed to address this problem. In this paper, we explore in detail a new approach based on kernel regression estimates, which is able to estimate a single time delay given several datasets for the same quasar. ...
متن کاملMicrolensing of Lensed Supernovae
Given the number of recently discovered galaxy-galaxy lens systems, we anticipate that a gravitationally lensed supernova will be observed within the next few years. We explore the possibility that stars in the lens galaxy will produce observable microlensing fluctuations in lensed supernova light curves. For typical parameters, we predict that ∼70% of lensed SNe will show microlensing fluctuat...
