A CALIBRATION OF THE STELLAR MASS FUNDAMENTAL PLANE AT z ∼ 0.5 USING THE MICRO-LENSING-INDUCED FLUX RATIO ANOMALIES OF MACRO-LENSED QUASARS

A CALIBRATION OF THE STELLAR MASS FUNDAMENTAL PLANE AT z ∼ 0.5 USING THE MICRO-LENSING-INDUCED FLUX RATIO ANOMALIES OF MACRO-LENSED QUASARS

We measure the stellar mass surface densities of early-type galaxies by observing the micro-lensing of macro-lensed quasars caused by individual stars, including stellar remnants, brown dwarfs, and red dwarfs too faint to produce photometric or spectroscopic signatures. Instead of observing multiple...
