    • Since the persuasive determination of the time delay in Q0957+561, much interest has centered around shifting and subtracting the A and B light curves to look for residuals due to microlensing. Solar mass objects in the lens galaxy produce variations on timescales of decades, with amplitudes of a few tenths of a magnitude, but MACHOs (with masses of order 10-3-10-7 M☉) produce variations at only the 5% level. To detect such small variations, highly precise photometry is required. To that end… CONTINUE READING
