X-ray and optical flux ratio anomalies in quadruply lensed quasars. II. Mapping the dark matter content in elliptical galaxies

We present a microlensing analysis of 61 Chandra observations of 14 quadruply lensed quasars. X-ray flux measurements of the individual quasar images give a clean determination of the microlensing effects in the lensing galaxy and thus offer a direct assessment of the local fraction of stellar matte...
