    The MIT-Green Bank (MG) 5 GHz survey (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The catalog yielded by the MIT-Green Bank 5-GHz survey contains 5974 sources with S/N ratio greater than 5; a supplemental catalog contains 3836 possible detections with S/N of less than 5. The reliability of the main list is measured to be about 96 percent, with a completeness of about 95 percent. Flux density errors are a function of flux density. A comparison is presently made of survey sources from the Douglas et al. (1980) 365-MHz Texas survey; spectral indices are computed for coincident sources, and the distribution of spectral indices is discussed.

    Unusual radio source MG1131+0456 - A possible Einstein ring (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The discovery of extremely unusual structure in the radio source MG1131+0456 is reported. In a radio map with subsarcsecond resolution the object appears as an elliptical ring of emission accompanied by a pair of more compact sources, nearly diametrically opposed and offset by about 0.3 arcsec to the southwest of the ring. There is a faint, slightly extended, optical counterpart. A continuum but no emission lines is detected in its spectrum; therefore, the redshift of the counterpart is unknown. The radio morphology suggests that this source may be an example of an 'Einstein ring', a highly symmetric case of gravitational lensing in which the source is imaged into a ring. Other explanations are considered and excluded by the data. Another possibility is that MG1131+04565 represents a new type of astronomical object.

    A gravitational lens candidate with an unusually red optical counterpart (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The properties of the strong radio source MG0414 + 0534 are described. It is found to display many of the properties expected in a gravitational lens system. At radio wavelengths and 0.5-arcsec resolution, MG0414 + 0534 is made up of four compact components whose unusual configuration and relative flux densities are similar to those found in confirmed four-image gravitational lens systems. At optical wavelengths three objects are detected, consistent with there being optical objects at the positions of the radio components, given the lower optical resolution. The radio and optical centroid positions agree within the astrometric errors, and the relative ordering of the fluxes is the same. The colors and radiooptical spectral indices are similar, but there are differences larger than the photometric errors and the measured variability (about 30 percent). Extinction by dust might simultaneously explain the unusually red color and the absence of light from a lens.

    A VLA gravitational lens survey (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A VLA survey designed to detect gravitational lensing on sub-arc second and arc second scales is described, and preliminary results of radio data are presented. In particular, it is found that the density of matter in the form of a uniform comoving number density of 10 to the 11th - 10 to the 12th solar mass compact objects, luminous or dark, must be substantially less than the critical density. Data obtained for the radio source 1042+178 are briefly examined.

    An apparent gravitational lens with an image separation of 2.6 arc min (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Observations are reported which confirm Paczynski's 1986 speculation that the previously known (Arp and Hazard, 1980) pair of 19th magnitude quasars 1146+111B,C are actually two images of a single object produced by a gravitational lens. The image split is 157 arcsec, more than 20 times greater than any previously reported, thus indicating an exceptionally massive lensing object. The data supporting the lens hypothesis are remarkably similar, high signal-to-noise, moderate resolution spectra of the two components. Both spectra show strong Mg II 2798-angstrom emission at z = 1.012 plus or minus 0.001 with indistinguishable redshifts (delta v = 126 plus or minus 309 km/s), widths (FWHM = 64 plus or minus 4 angstroms) and detailed profile shapes. Both spectra also show broad troughs at 6180 angstroms and several weaker continuum features. Neither object exhibits the O II 3727-A forbidden line which is frequently strong in Mg II emission objects. If the foreground galaxy clustering apparent in a deep R band charge-coupled device image proves insufficient to explain the large image splitting, other possibilities such as massive dark objects (e.g. a black hole of about 10 to the 15th solar masses) or a cosmic string may be indicated.

    The third image, the redshift of the lens, and new components of the gravitational lens 2016 + 112 (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Three new observations of the gravitational lens system 2016 + 112 are reported. A new, more sensitive spectrograph has produced a redshift for the red galaxy D, and direct imaging through a narrowband filter centered on the Lyman alpha line of the lensed object has detected a previously unknown point source and two radio-quiet extended emission line regions, all apparently at the redshift of the two brighter images A and B. Some preliminary results from a new VLA map of the system are reported, and the implications of the results for models of gravitational lenses are discussed.

    High-resolution CCD imaging and derived gravitational lens models of 2237+0305 (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Images of the gravitational lens 2237+0305 acquired in good seeing have resolved the system into at least five components within the central few arsec of the object: the galaxy nucleus and four point sources in a ringlike formation approximately centered on the galaxy. It is found that the four point sources are distinctly bluer than the galaxy, but that they do not have identical colors. The observed configuration is well reproduced by a simple model that assumes that the four objects are images of the quasar and that the lens is a constant mass-to-light ratio, elliptical, de Vaucouleurs bulge.

    The triple radio source 0023 + 171 - A candidate for a dark gravitational lens (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: In the course of a radio-optical search for gravitational lenses, a multiple radio source, 0023 + 171, was discovered, which has two optical counterparts at z = 0.946 separated by 5 arcsec. Their redshifts are the same within the measurement error, and their optical spectra show the same emission lines with the same relative intensities. One interpretation of these measurements is that the images of 0023 + 171 are gravitationally lensed. However, because the radio morphology is complex and the optical objects are faint, the existing data cannot exclude another interpretation, i.e., that the components of 0023 + 171 are two physically associated radio galaxies or two components of a single galaxy. The only possible evidence in favor of a lensing object is extremely faint optical emission located approximately 1 arcsec from one of the images. If this multiple source is indeed gravitationally lensed, the combination of available data imply a mass-to-light ratio for the lensing matter equal to about 1000.
