Abstract

quasars: individual (SDSS J133534.79+011805.5) gravitational lensing: strong
We report on the discovery of the two-image gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1335 $+$ 0118. The object was selected as a lens candidate from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The imaging and spectroscopic follow-up observations confirm that the system exhibits two gravitationally lensed images of a quasar at $z=1.57$ . The image separation is ${1\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm {\prime \prime }}56}$ . We also detect an extended component between the two quasar images, likely to be a lensing galaxy. Preliminary mass modeling predicts a differential time delay, $\Delta t$ of $\sim30 \, h^{-1} \mathrm{day}$ , assuming the redshift of the lens galaxy to be $0.5$ .
