Scientific paper

Microlensing studies can in principle measure a scan across the accretion disc of a distant QSO and thereby resolve the accretion disc structure. Such scans are now available for two QSO's. We analyze the available data for the first discovered gravitational mirage, Q0957+561 A, B and show that a microlensing event is being observed. Color changes expected from such an event have so far been masked by color changes intrinsic to the QSO.
