Abstract :
[en] High angular resolution Principle Component Image (PC1) images of the gravitational lens systems HE 1104-1805 and J03.13 are presented. Using a method described in Remy et al. (1997a), optimal TinyTim Point Spread Function (PSFs) are constructed to fit at best the lensed point-like components. The derived photometry of the GL components and the detection of the lens galaxy for HE 1104-1805 are discussed. Textbook case Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) spectra of J03.13 A and B clearly show that this double QSO is a cosmic mirage.
