Multi-wave monitoring of the gravitational lensed quasar Q0957+561

Abstract: We present X-ray (CHANDRA), ultraviolet (SWIFT/UVOT; U band) and optical-infrared (Liverpool Telescope; griz bands) continuum light curves of Q0957+561 observed in the first half of 2010. A cross-correlation analysis of the light curves shows that the U-band fluctuation leads the other variations at higher and lower energies. The study constrains the geometry of the continuum emission regions in a distant radio-loud AGN for the first time. We note that our work opens a new window in echo-mapping of high-z AGNs with the use of lensed quasars, since the variability of some of the images of a given multiply-imaged quasar can be predicted in advance, provided there is a modest optical follow-up of the system.
