Query: New Estimates of Time Delays in the Gravitationally Lensed System
  PG1115+080   We analyze all publicly available long-term optical observations of the
gravitationally lensed quasar PG1115+080 for the purpose of estimating time
delays between its four components. In particular, the light curves of
PG1115+080 components obtained in 2001-2006 at Maidanak observatory
(Uzbekistan) (Tsvetkova et al 2010} are considered. We find that the linear
trend is observed in 2006 in light curves of all four components with fast
variations only in the A1 and C components that can be due to microlensing and
observational errors. Application of the MCCF method (Oknyansky 1993) to the
photometric data obtained in 2004-2005 gives values of time delays $\tau_{BC} =
22^{+2}_{-3}$, $\tau_{AC} = 12^{+2}_{-1}$ and $\tau_{BA} = 10^{+2}_{-3}$ days,
which are in agreement with the results received earlier by Schechter and
Barkana for 1995-1996 light curves with two different methods of statistic
analysis. However, our estimates of $\tau_{BA}$ and $\tau_{BC}$ differ from the
values received by the group of Vakulik based on the same Maidanak data
(Vakulik et al 2009). The ratio $\tau_{AC}/\tau_{BA}$ is equal to $\sim 1.2$
that is close to the value, received by Barkana ($\sim 1.13$) and predicted by
lens models ($\sim1.4$), unlike the values received by Schechter ($\sim 0.7$)
and Vakulik ($\sim 2.7$).
