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 کاملDifferential Microlensing of the Continuum and Broad Emission Lines in the Most Anomalous Lensed Quasar
SDSS J0924+0219 is the most glaring example of a gravitational lens with anomalous flux ratios: optical broad-band photometry shows image D to be a factor of 12 fainter than expected from smooth lens models. We report spectroscopy showing that the anomaly is present in the broad emission line flux ratios as well. There are differences between the emission line and continuum flux ratios: the A/D...
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 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...
متن کاملUnambiguous quasar microlensing
Microlensing studies of quasars can reveal dark matter lumps over a broad mass spectrum; we highlight the importance of monitoring quasars which are seen through the halos of low-redshift galaxies. For these configurations microlensing by planetary-mass objects will manifest itself as isolated events which are only weakly chromatic. Statistical comparison of the observed optical depths with the...
