Scientific paper

Gravitational microlensing provides information at the micro-to-nano arcsecond scale necessary to probe the structure of the central engine of quasars. We can now determine the radius of the broad line emitting regions, and measure the temperature profile of the continuum emitting region using single-epoch observations. I will present X-shooter spectroscopy that provides new insight into the accretion mechanism, and the structure of the broad line region.
