First numerical ray-shooting simulation of compound (two-plane) quasar microlensing in the double-source-plane lens J1721+8842 shows new caustic morphologies — convexity violations and lip caustics — that do not occur in single-plane microlensing.

Microlensing of Microlensing: Effects of Random Stars on the Double-Source-Plane Gravitational Lens
First numerical ray-shooting simulation of compound (two-plane) quasar microlensing in the double-source-plane lens J1721+8842 shows new caustic morphologies — convexity violations and lip caustics — that do not occur in single-plane microlensing.
