A New Quadruple Gravitational Lens System: CLASS B0128+437
High resolution MERLIN observations of a newly-discovered four-image gravitational lens system, B0128+437, are presented. The system was found after a careful reanalysis of the entire CLASS dataset. The MERLIN observations resolve four components in a characteristic quadruple-image configuration; the maximum image separation is 542 mas and the total flux density is 48 mJy at 5 GHz. A best-fit l...
متن کامل1608+656: a Quadruple Lens System Found in the Class Gravitational Lens Survey
The rst phase of a large gravitational lens survey using the Very Large Array at a wavelength of 3.6 cm has been completed, yielding images for 3258 radio sources. The Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey, or CLASS, is designed to locate gravitational lens systems consisting of multiply-imaged compact components with separations > 0: 00 2. From this rst phase has come the discovery of 1608+656, a quadrup...
متن کاملGravitational lensing potential reconstruction in quadruply imaged systems
We develop a semi-analytical method to reconstruct the lensing potential in quadruply imaged gravitational lens systems. Assuming that the potential belongs to a broad class of boxy non elliptical models, we show how it is possible to write down a system of equations which can be numerically solved to recover the potential parameters directly from image positions and using physical constraints....
متن کاملUsing Quadruple Lenses to probe the Structure of the Lensing Galaxy
We show here that quadruple lenses can be useful laboratories to probe whether the potential of the lensing galaxy is purely elliptical or whether an additional distortion is present in the deflector plane. For this test we only have to know the relative image positions of the quadruple lens system and the (relative) center of light position of the lensing galaxy. Furthermore we introduce new m...
متن کاملEffects of Triaxiality on the Statistics of Large-separation Gravitational Lenses
We study the statistics of large-separation gravitational lens systems produced by non-spherical halos in the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model. Specifically, we examine how the triaxiality of CDM halos affects the overall lensing probabilities and the relative numbers of different image configurations (double, quadruple, and naked cusp lenses). We find that triaxiality significantly enhances lensin...
