摘要:

背景:引力透镜类星体构成了一个独立的工具,通过时间延迟来获得H 0;它们也提供了研究质量分布和透镜星系的星际介质的机会,通过微透镜,它们还允许人们研究发射源的细节。目标:对于这样的研究,人们需要有一个很好的知识的透镜图像的封闭环境,以模拟透镜的潜力:这意味着在一个大的视场和光谱在高空间分辨率的观测数据。方法:我们介绍了四个透镜类星体HE 0230-2130,RX J0911.4+0551,H 1413+117和B 1359+154周围的VIMOS积分场观测。利用低、中、高分辨率模式,我们研究了类星体图像和类星体环境,并提供了详细的数据处理报告。研究结果:不同图像的类星体光谱之间的比较揭示了HE 0230-2130,RX J0911.4+0551和H 1413+117的差异:当在发射线和连续谱中测量时,同一类星体图像之间的通量比是不同的。我们还测量了HE 0230-2130和RXJ0911.4 +0551附近星系的红移,它们可能对总透镜势有贡献。结论:仔细的分析表明,微透镜是最自然的解释(去)放大率的连续发射区的背景源。在HE 0230-2130中,图像D可能受到微透镜放大的影响;在RX J0911.4+0551中,图像A1和A3可能受到微透镜缩小的影响,在H 1413+117中,至少图像D受到微透镜的影响。

英文摘要:

CONTEXT: Gravitationally lensed quasars constitute an independent tool to derive H0 through time-delays; they offer as well the opportunity to study the mass distribution and interstellar medium of their lensing galaxies and, through microlensing they also allow one to study details of the emitting source. AIMS: For such studies, one needs to have an excellent knowledge of the close environment of the lensed images in order to model the lensing potential: this means observational data over a large field-of-view and spectroscopy at high spatial resolution. METHODS: We present VIMOS integral field observations around four lensed quasars: HE 0230-2130, RX J0911.4+0551, H 1413+117 and B 1359+154. Using the low, medium and high resolution modes, we study the quasar images and the quasar environments, as well as provide a detailed report of the data reduction. RESULTS: Comparison between the quasar spectra of the different images reveals differences for HE 0230-2130, RX J0911.4+0551 and H 1413+117: flux ratios between the images of the same quasar are different when measured in the emission lines and in the continuum. We have also measured the redshifts of galaxies in the neighborhood of HE 0230-2130 and RX J0911.4+0551 which possibly contribute to the total lensing potential. CONCLUSIONS: A careful analysis reveals that microlensing is the most natural explanation for the (de)magnification of the continuum emitting region of the background sources. In HE 0230-2130, image D is likely to be affected by microlensing magnification; in RX J0911.4+0551, images A1 and A3 are likely to be modified by microlensing de-magnification and in H 1413+117, at least image D is affected by microlensing.
