A study of Quasars at Optical Wavelengths as a Means of Detecting Gravitational Grating
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahvar, Sohrab (Supervisor)
Abstract
After Supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, Quasars are the brightest in the Universe. They are powered by supermassive black holes which lie at the center of the galaxies. Perturbations in space-time metrics by massive galaxies near the line of sight of the quasar can lead to strong lensing and create multiple pictures. Gravitationally lensed quasar systems yield abundant data sets for astrophysical and cosmological experimentation. In this thesis survey results of the multiply lensed SDSS J1206+4332 is studied. Candidate phenomenons are microlensing and gravitational grating. Gravitational grating studies the interaction of electromagnetic wave and gavitational wave in both geometric and wave...
