Gamma-Ray Variability Induced by Microlensing on Intermediate Size Structures in Lensed Blazars

Changes of the magnification ratio of images in a lensed blazar, caused by microlensing on individual stars, have been proposed as a probe of the size and velocity of the emission region in the lensed source. We study whether similar changes in the magnification ratio can be caused by the microlensi...
