Notes. Colors and positions of most images are measured from the HST imaging, expect for system #1 which represents the PdBI CO(4–3) morphology of the Emerald, the bright submm arc. Systems #1 to #8 are the most securely identified from their position, color and morphologies and were used in each of the five models, while system #9 was only considered in one alternative model and ignored in the remaining four (⊘ symbols). Here zopt refers to the redshifts derived from our lens models, and their 1σ confidence intervals, with indices (i) indicating systems that were fitted with a common redshift. Measuring spectroscopic redshifts for other multiply imaged systems would allow us to discriminate between models and to better constrain the foreground dark-matter distribution.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
