First Results from the Faint Object Camera: Images of the Gravitational Lens System G2237+0305
Abstract
Images of the gravitational lens system G2237+0305 have been obtained with the Faint Object Camera on board the Hubble Space Telescope. A preliminary analysis of these images is reported here and includes measurements of the relative positions and magnitudes of the lensed images of the QSO, and of the lensing galaxy. No evidence is found for a fifth lensed image.
