Time 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 کاملX-Ray Microlensing of Bright Quasars
We calculated the expected microlens light curves for several accretion-flow models and compared the results to find what aspects of distinct flow structures can be extracted from the microlens light curves. As for the flow models, we considered the standard disk, optically thin advection-dominated flow, and the disk-corona model by Kawaguchi et al., which can nicely reproduce the observed quas...
متن کاملContribution of microlensing to X-ray variability of distant QSOs
We consider a contribution of microlensing to the X-ray variability of high-redshifted QSOs. Cosmologically distributed gravitational microlenses could be localized in galaxies (or even in bulge or halo of gravitational macrolenses) or could be distributed in a uniform way. We have analyzed both cases of such distributions. We found that the optical depth for gravitational microlensing caused b...
متن کاملProbing the gravitational Faraday rotation using quasar X-ray microlensing
The effect of gravitational Faraday rotation was predicted in the 1950s, but there is currently no practical method for measuring this effect. Measuring this effect is important because it will provide new evidence for correctness of general relativity, in particular, in the strong field limit. We predict that the observed degree and angle of the X-ray polarization of a cosmologically distant q...
متن کاملThe X-ray Transform and its Application in Nano Crystallography
In this article a review on the definition of the X- ray transform and some ofits applications in Nano crystallography is presented. We shall show that the X- raytransform is a special case of the Radon transform on homogeneous spaces when thetopological group E(n)- the Euclidean group - acts on ℝ2 transitively. First someproperties of the Radon transform are investigated then the relationship ...
