Quasar microlensing: Revolutionizing our understanding of quasar structure and dynamics
·
Abstract
Microlensing in strong-lens systems with quasars provides a unique detailed view of the internal structure of active black holes to the scale of nano-arcseconds. The case is made for the potential of this approach to revolutionize our understanding of quasar physics and its role in broader questions, with a coherent community strategy.
