“…The distribution of the point-like images around the central galaxy shows a typical strong lens configuration: a pair of close images (A and B) and two images spread toward north (C) and south-west (D), similar to the configuration of the lensed quasars PG 1115+080 (Schechter et al 1997), MG0414+0534 (Hewitt et al 1992), and WFI J2033-4723 (Morgan et al 2004). Moreover, the point-like shape of the images suggests that the background source is an AGN.…”

“…The source of MG 0414+0534, at a redshift of z S = 2.639, is lensed by a foreground elliptical galaxy G (the primary lens) at z L = 0.9584 (Hewitt et al 1992;Lawrence et al 1995;Tonry & Kochanek 1999). It has been known that a canonical model, a singular isothermal ellipsoid plus an external shear (SIE-ES) does not give a good fit.…”

“…By this process the lens systems B0218+257 (Patnaik et al 1993b), B1422+231 (Patnaik et al 1992b) and B1938+666 (King et al 1997) were discovered. Also in the survey is the known system MG0414+0534 (Hewitt et al 1989;Hewitt et al 1992) and the probable lens B2114+022 (Augusto et al 1998). The advantage of JVAS compared to the MIT -Green Bank (MG) lens survey (Bennett et al 1986) is that by observing only flat spectrum, hence core-dominated, sources, it is relatively straightforward to recognize lens systems, even those which consist of just two images.…”
