Abstract :

[en] The authors report the discovery of a second gravitational lens system in the broad absorption line quasar H1413+117. Four images of comparable brightness are seen, separated by â ¡1 arcsec. The unique configuration of the images, together with the fairly rare occurrence of this type of quasar, makes it incontrovertible that this is a lensed system, not a cluster of quasars. (See also 159.062).
