A kind of "Hands-on" Workshop: How to calculate Quasar Microlensing 
Joachim WAMBSGANSS

Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg (ZAH)

Chapitres

  1. How to calculate Quasar Microlensing
  2. Calculate Quasar Microlensing

Résumé

Hands-on exercises on using a hierarchical tree code for the calculation of quasar microlensing.

The participants need

  • a computer/laptop with a FORTRAN compiler
  • a graphics program, ideally IDL, but any graphics package that can handle FITS files will suffice
