PublicaciónThe Influence of Gravitational Microlensing on the Broad Emission Lines of Quasars
We discuss the effects of microlensing on the broad emission lines (BELs) of QSOs in the light of recent determinations of the size of the broad-line region...

PublicaciónThe influence of microlensing on spectral line shapes generated by a relativistic accretion disc
We study the influence of gravitational microlensing on the spectral line profiles originating from a relativistic accretion disc. Using the Chen & Halpern...

PublicaciónThe Influence of Microlensing on Time Delay Determinations in Double-imaged Quasars
The lag associated with the main peak of the cross-correlation function of the two light curves arriving from a double-imaged quasar is usually identified with...

PublicaciónThe Initial Mass Function of Lens Galaxies from Quasar Microlensing
We present a new approach to studying the initial mass function (IMF) in external galaxies based on quasar microlensing observations. We use measurements of...

PublicaciónThe Interstellar Medium in High-redshift Submillimeter Galaxies as Probed by Infrared Spectroscopy*
Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z≳ 1 are luminous in the far-infrared, and have star formation rates, SFR, of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year...

PublicaciónThe intrinsic alignment of red galaxies in DES Y1 redMaPPer galaxy clusters
Clusters of galaxies trace the most non-linear peaks in the cosmic density field. The weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies by clusters can allow us...
