Reverberation mapping in strongly lensed AGN

In the near future, tens of thousands of strongly lensed AGN are expected to be monitored with the advent of wide-field surveys. These will be closely followed as they are targets of opportunity for caustic-crossing events, which occur when a compact object's micro-caustic crosses over the central region of the AGN. These events will be carefully observed with high cadence observations across multiple wavelengths in order to probe the AGN's central engine. However, only a few studies have focused on an important aspect of reverberation mapping in strongly lensed systems. This is known as the microlensing time delay and has the ability to affect our understanding of reverberation mapping. In this talk, I will present some preliminary work done on reverberation mapping of strongly lensed AGN with the goal of quantifying our uncertainty in short-term and long-term light curves.

Abstract

In the near future, tens of thousands of strongly lensed AGN are expected to be monitored with the advent of wide-field surveys. These will be closely followed as they are targets of opportunity for caustic-crossing events, which occur when a compact object's micro-caustic crosses over the central region of the AGN. These events will be carefully observed with high cadence observations across multiple wavelengths in order to probe the AGN's central engine. However, only a few studies have focused on an important aspect of reverberation mapping in strongly lensed systems. This is known as the microlensing time delay and has the ability to affect our understanding of reverberation mapping. In this talk, I will present some preliminary work done on reverberation mapping of strongly lensed AGN with the goal of quantifying our uncertainty in short-term and long-term light curves.
