Abstract (from CDS):

We analyzed the microlensing of the X-ray and optical emission of the lensed quasar PG 1115+080. We find that the effective radius of the X-ray emission is 1.3+1.1–0.5 dex smaller than that of the optical emission. Viewed as a thin disk observed at inclination angle i, the optical accretion disk has a scale length, defined by the point where the disk temperature matches the rest-frame energy of the monitoring band (kT=hc/λrest with λrest=0.3 µm), of log{cubl1}(rs,opt/cm)cos(i)/0.51/2{cubr1}=16.6±0.4. The X-ray emission region (1.4-21.8 keV in the rest frame) has an effective half-light radius of log(r1/2,X/cm)=15.6+0.6–0.9. Given an estimated black hole mass of 1.2x109 M☉, corresponding to a gravitational radius of log(rg/cm)=14.3, the X-ray emission is generated near the inner edge of the disk, while the optical emission comes from scales slightly larger than those expected for an Eddington-limited thin disk. We find a weak trend supporting models with low stellar mass fractions near the lensed images, in mild contradiction to inferences from the stellar velocity dispersion and the time delays.
