Descripción
From optical data of Q0957+561 for 1995/1996 seasons (in the g band) and
1996/1997 seasons (in the R band) they are derived upper limits on the
amplitude of the rapid microlensing fluctuations of 0.07 mag and 0.05
mag, respectively. The photometry in the R band (1996/1997 seasons) was
taken at Teide Observatory (IAC-80 Telescope), Instituto de Astrofisica
de Canarias, Spain. In this contribution, we also study the microlensing
history (from 1981 to 1996) of the Twin QSO, which is a curious system
with two optical images of similar brightness.
