Quantitative 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 <∼...

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...

Caustic 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 ...

Light curves and colours of the faint Uranian irregular satellites

Context. After the work of Gladman et al. (1998), it is now assessed that many irregular satellites are orbiting around Uranus. Aims. Despite many studies have been performed in past years, very few is know for the light-curves of these objects and inconsistencies are present between colours derived by different authors. This situation motivated our effort to improve both the knowledge of colou...
