Possible Gravitational Microlensing Events in the Optical Lightcurve of Active Galaxy S5 0716+714
A well-known active galaxy of the blazar type, S5 0716+714, is characterized by a particularly high-variability duty cycle on short timescales at optical frequencies. As such, the source was subjected to numerous monitoring programs, including both ground-based as well as spaceborne telescopes. On c...
