Colour changes in quasar light curves
The study of quasar variability has long been seen as a way to understanding the structure of the central engine of active galactic nuclei, and as a means of verifying the morphology of the standard model. Much work has already been done on the statistical properties of light curves monitored in one colour, and it is now possible to use these observations to test predictions of theoretical mode...
متن کاملCaustic crossings in quasar light curves ?
Numerical simulations and theoretical studies of the gravitational microlensing effect of a population of small bodies distributed along the line of sight to a compact light source such as a quasar indicate that caustic crossing effects will be present given a sufficiently large optical depth to lensing. These events will produce characteristic patterns in the quasar light curve. In this paper ...
متن کاملQuantitative Interpretation of Quasar Microlensing Light Curves
We develop a general method for analyzing the light curves of microlensed quasars and apply it to the OGLE light curves of the four-image lens Q2237+0305. We simultaneously estimate the effective source velocity, the average stellar mass, the stellar mass function, and the size and structure of the quasar accretion disk. The light curves imply an effective source plane velocity of 10200 km/s <∼...
متن کاملThe Signature of Dark Matter in Quasar Light Curves
The idea that dark matter in the form of small compact bodies (most plausibly planetary mass primordial black holes) betrays its presence by the microlensing of quasars, has been stimulated by statistical studies of quasar light curves and gravitationally lensed quasar systems. In this paper we review this evidence, and discuss the significance of the recent detection of a planetary mass microl...
متن کاملA Visual Survey of Colour on Paper and Colour Changes During Exposure to Light
This paper presents how inkjet colour is affected by firstly the substrate and secondly exposure to light and the combination of both. The research uses both pigmented and dye based inks printed onto coated and uncoated fine art papers, and are subjected to light conditions that are constantly changing through out the day and consequently the year. Although benchmark conditions and standards as...
