Welcome to the Flotsam wiki!

We're still getting started (while Brendon moves to Auckland), but you can read a bit about the problem we are trying to solve here, with some examples of the datasets we are anticipating.

One project we want to do is to simulate a lot more data like this, and start quantifying who well we can estimate the time delays between gravitationally lensed image lightcurves.

Another is to add microlensing to lightcurves like these, and start looking at whether we can simultaneously infer microlensing parameters (AGN disk size? See Kochanek, Morgan et al) at the same time as the time delays.
