PublicationA Fast and Very Accurate Approach to the Computation of Microlensing Magnification Patterns Based on Inverse Polygon Mapping
A new method of calculating microlensing magnification patterns is proposed that is based on the properties of the backward gravitational lens mapping of a...

PublicationA high-resolution investigation of the multiphase ISM in a galaxy during the first two billion years
We have carried out the first spatially resolved investigation of the multiphase interstellar medium (ISM) at high redshift, using the z = 4.24 strongly lensed...

PublicationA Mass Model for the Lensing Cluster SDSS J1004+4112: Constraints from the Third Time Delay
We have built a new model for the lens system SDSS J1004+4112 including the recently measured time delay of the fourth quasar image. This time delay has a...

PublicationA Planetary Microlensing Event with an Unusually Red Source Star: MOA-2011-BLG-291
We present the analysis of the planetary microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-291, which has a mass ratio of q = (3.8 ± 0.7) × 10‑4 and a source star that is redder...

PublicationA Robust Determination of the Size of Quasar Accretion Disks Using Gravitational Microlensing
Using microlensing measurements for a sample of 27 image pairs of 19 lensed quasars we determine a maximum likelihood estimate for the accretion disk size of an...
