Data pubblicazione: | 2019 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS | Numero: | 870 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | L11 | Abstract: | Strong gravitational lensing provides a powerful probe of the physical properties of quasars and their host galaxies. A high fraction of the most luminous high-redshift quasars was predicted to be lensed due to magnification bias. However, no multiple imaged quasar was found at z > 5 in previous surveys. We report the discovery of J043947.08+163415.7, a strongly lensed quasar at z = 6.51, the first such object detected at the epoch of reionization, and the brightest quasar yet known at z > 5. High-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging reveals a multiple imaged system with a maximum image separation θ ∼ 0.″2, best explained by a model of three quasar images lensed by a low-luminosity galaxy at z ∼ 0.7, with a magnification factor of ∼50. The existence of this source suggests that a significant population of strongly lensed, high-redshift quasars could have been missed by previous surveys, as standard color selection techniques would fail when the quasar color is contaminated by the lensing galaxy. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29307 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aaeffe | ISSN: | 2041-8205 | DOI: | 10.3847/2041-8213/aaeffe | Bibcode ADS: | 2019ApJ...870L..11F | Fulltext: | open |
