Description
An observing campaign with 10 participating observatories has undertaken
to monitor the optical brightness of the Q0957 gravitationally lensed
quasar for 10 consecutive nights in 2000 January. The resulting A image
brightness curve has significant brightness fluctuations and makes a
photometric prediction for the B image light curve for a second campaign
planned for 2001 March 12-21. The ultimate purpose is to determine the
gravitational lens time delay to a fraction of an hour and to seek
evidence of rapid microlensing.
