چکیده
We present a secure redshift of z = 0.944±0.002 for the lensed object in the Einstein ring gravitational lens B0218+357 based on five broad emission lines, in good agreement with our preliminary value announced several years ago based solely on the detection of a single emission line. Subject headings: gravitational lensing — galaxies: redshifts – galaxies: individual (B0218 + 357)

Se p 19 99 B 0218 + 357 : Time Delays and New MERLIN / VLA 5 GHz Maps of the Einstein Ring
This poster presents a new 5 GHz combined MERLIN/VLA map of B0218+357 which shows for the first time believable substructure in the Einstein ring. This will now be exploited for further constraints on the model which presently dominates the error on the estimate of H 0 derived from the time delay (10.5±0.4 days) measured for this system.

We report the detection of the H2O molecule in absorption at a redshift z=0.68466 in front of the gravitationally lensed quasar B0218+357. We detect the fundamental transition of ortho–water at 556.93GHz (redshifted to 330.59GHz). The line is highly optically thick and relatively wide (15 km/s FWHM), with a profile that is similar to that of the previously detected CO(2–1) and HCO(2–1) opticall...
متن کاملDiscovery of Multiply Imaged Galaxies behind the Cluster and Lensed Quasar
We have identified three multiply imaged galaxies in Hubble Space Telescope images of the redshift z = 0.68 cluster responsible for the large-separation quadruply lensed quasar, SDSS J1004+4112. Spectroscopic redshifts have been secured for two of these systems using the Keck I 10m telescope. The most distant lensed galaxy, at z = 3.332, forms at least four images, and an Einstein ring encompas...
متن کاملDetection of OH and wide HI absorption toward B 0218 + 357
We present deep GMRT OH and WSRT HI absorption spectra of the z = 0.6846 gravitational lens toward B0218+357. Both the 1665 MHz and 1667 MHz OH lines are clearly detected for the first time while a new wide absorption component was detected (at low significance) in the HI spectrum; the OH spectra yielded an OH column density of NOH = 2.3 × 10 cm−2. The ratio of 1667 and 1665 MHz equivalent widt...

We present multi-frequency radio continuum VLBI observations of the gravitational lens system B0218+357 carried out using a global VLBI network and the VLBA. The source has been observed with resolutions from 0.2 mas to 5 mas and displays interesting structure. The spectral properties of various components show that the lensed object is a standard flat spectrum radio source which has many self-...
