Abstract
We present 10 seasons of Sloan Digital Sky Survey r-band monitoring observations and five seasons of H-band observations of the two-image system FBQ J0951+2635 from the Kaj Strand Astrometric Reflector at the United States Naval Observatory, Flagstaff Station. We supplement our light curves with six seasons of monitoring data from the literature to yield a 10 + 6 season combined data set, which we analyzed with our Monte Carlo microlensing analysis routine to generate constraints on the structure of this system’s continuum emission source and the properties of the lens galaxy. Complementing our optical light curves with the five-season near-infrared light curves, we ran a joint Monte Carlo analysis to measure the size of the continuum emission region at both wavelengths, yielding log(r
