Asymmetrical Stokes profiles are produced if the photospheric magnetic and velocity fields are structured on scales smaller than the mean-free-path of the...
Microlensing Analysis for the Gravitational Lens Systems SDSS0924+0219, Q1355-2257, and SDSS1029+2623
We use spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed systems SDSS0924+0219(BC), Q1355-2257(AB), and SDSS1029+2623(BC) to analyze microlensing and...
Microlensing analysis of 14.5-year light curves in SDSS J1004+4112: Quasar accretion disk size and intracluster stellar mass fraction
Context. The gravitational lens system SDSS J1004+4112 was the first known example of a quasar lensed by a galaxy cluster. The interest in this system has been...
Microlensing and Intrinsic Variability of the Broad Emission Lines of Lensed Quasars
We study the broad emission lines in a sample of 11 gravitationally lensed quasars with at least two epochs of observation to identify intrinsic variability and...
Microlensing brown-dwarf companions in binaries detected during the 2022 and 2023 seasons
Aims. Building on previous works to construct a homogeneous sample of brown dwarfs in binary systems, we investigate microlensing events detected by the Korea...
Microlensing events of the LMC are better explained by stars within the LMC than by MACHOs
The recently reported microlensing events of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have caused much excitement, and have been interpreted as due to 'dark objects'...
The influence of microlensing on the profiles of emission lines generated in a biconical geometry is discussed. Microlensing amplification in this anisotropic...
Microlensing of Quasar Broad Emission Lines: Constraints on Broad Line Region Size
We measure the differential microlensing of the broad emission lines between 18 quasar image pairs in 16 gravitational lenses. We find that the broad emission...
We measure the differential microlensing of the UV Fe II and Fe III emission line blends between 14 quasar image pairs in 13 gravitational lenses. We find that...
