Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | Summary:When a rectangular hyperbola is constructed from the image positions of a quadruply lensed quasar, as proposed by Witt (1996), it passes very close to the the lensing galaxy. The median measured perpendicular offset between the observed light center of the lens and Witt’s hyperbola is 0.013" for a sample […]
