JVAS B1030+074, a double image gravitational lens



Lens System Summary

B1030+074 is a double-image lens that was discovered in the JVAS survey. Jet structure in the source has been revealed by VLBI. This system has the highest flux density ratio between its images of all the JVAS/CLASS lenses (15:1) and consequently is not included in the CLASS statistically complete sample, which excludes systems with flux ratios above 10:1. Monitoring has failed to produce a time delay (Xanthopoulos et al., in prep.).
