Abstract (from CDS):

We present 13 seasons of R-band photometry of the quadruply lensed quasar WFI 2033-4723 from the 1.3 m SMARTS telescope at CTIO and the 1.2 m Euler Swiss Telescope at La Silla, in which we detect microlensing variability of ∼0.2 mag on a timescale of ∼6 years. Using a Bayesian Monte Carlo technique, we analyze the microlensing signal to obtain a measurement of the size of this system's accretion disk of log(rs/cm)=15.86–0.27+0.25 at λrest = 2481 Å, assuming a 60° inclination angle. We confirm previous measurements of the BC and AB time delays, and we obtain a tentative measurement of the delay between the closely spaced A1 and A2 images of ΔtA1A2=tA1-tA2=-3.9–2.2+3.4 days. We conclude with an update to the Quasar Accretion Disk Size-Black Hole Mass Relation, in which we confirm that the accretion disk size predictions from simple thin disk theory are too small.
