摘要:

我们报告了在$\sim$ 670平方米的光学引力透镜实验(OGLE)中发现的一个新的引力透镜类星体(双重)。环绕麦哲伦星云的30度区域。该源被选为WISE的$\sim$ 60“红色W1-W2”中红外天体之一,并且对于两个(或多个)附近源,OGLE具有显著的变化量。这是引力透镜的第一次探测,其中发现是“相反的”,这意味着我们首先测量了$-132<t_{\rm AB}<-76$天(90%CL)的两个透镜类星体图像之间的时间延迟,中值为$t_{\rm AB}\approx-102$天(在观察者框架中),并且较暗的图像B落后于图像A。该系统由两个在天空中相隔1.5”的类星体图像组成,分别为$I\approx20.0$等和$I\approx19.6$等,以及一个透镜星系,在减去两个透镜图像后,在距离图像A 1.0”处可以检测到$I \approx 21.5$等源。这两个类星体的图像都显示了清晰的活动星系核宽发射线在$z=2.16$的NTT光谱。用固定源红移拟合的SED提供了透镜星系红移的估计值为$z \approx 0.9 \pm 0.2$(90% CL),而它的类型更可能是椭圆的(SED推断和透镜模型的恒星质量更可能存在于椭圆星系中)而不是螺旋的(透镜模型的首选红移)。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a new gravitationally lensed quasar (double) from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) identified inside the $\sim$670 sq. deg area encompassing the Magellanic Clouds. The source was selected as one of $\sim$60 "red W1-W2" mid-IR objects from WISE and having a significant amount of variability in OGLE for both two (or more) nearby sources. This is the first detection of a gravitational lens, where the discovery is made "the other way around", meaning we first measured the time delay between the two lensed quasar images of $-132<t_{\rm AB}<-76$ days (90% CL), with the median $t_{\rm AB}\approx-102$ days (in the observer frame), and where the fainter image B lags image A. The system consists of the two quasar images separated by 1.5" on the sky, with $I\approx20.0$ mag and $I\approx19.6$ mag, respectively, and a lensing galaxy that becomes detectable as $I \approx 21.5$ mag source, 1.0" from image A, after subtracting the two lensed images. Both quasar images show clear AGN broad emission lines at $z=2.16$ in the NTT spectra. The SED fitting with the fixed source redshift provided the estimate of the lensing galaxy redshift of $z \approx 0.9 \pm 0.2$ (90% CL), while its type is more likely to be elliptical (the SED-inferred and lens-model stellar mass is more likely present in ellipticals) than spiral (preferred redshift by the lens model).
