Descripción
We observed the quadruple gravitationally lensed image of MG J0414+0534
on 23 November 1997 with a global VLBI array at 8.4 GHz. We report
wide-field imaging results of its four components at submilliarcsecond
resolution, displaying complex core-like and jet-like extended
structures. A simple model combining a singular isothermal ellipsoid to
represent the main lens galaxy, external shear, and a singular
isothermal sphere to represent an additional, nearby object accounts
well for the core positions and flux densities of the VLBI images. This
model predicts delays between the different lensed images of several
weeks.
