HE 1104-1805 differential light curves

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The mid-IR flux ratios FA/FB=2.84+/-0.06 of the two images of the gravitationally lensed quasar HE 1104-1805 show no wavelength dependence to within 3% across 3.6-8.0um, show no time dependence over 6 months, and agree with the broad emission-line flux ratios.

Description

This indicates that the mid-IR emission likely comes from scales large enough to be little affected by microlensing and that there is little differential extinction between the images.

We measure a revised time delay between these two images of 152.2^+2.8^_-3.0_ (1sigma) days from R- and V-band data covering the years 1997-2006. This time delay indicates that the lens has an approximately flat rotation curve over scales of 1-2Re. We also observed uncorrelated variations of ~0.05mag/yr, which we attribute to microlensing of the optical emission from the accretion disk.

The optical colors have also changed significantly in the sense that image A is now redder than image B, rather than bluer, as it was in 1993.
