X-ray search for dark lens objects

Abstract

The quasi-stellar object (QSO) MG 2016+112 is searched for and probably identified as an X-ray cluster of galaxies by the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA) observations. The MG 2016+112 is a gravitational lensed system with three confirmed lensed images of the QSO at a redshift of 3.27. The X-ray spectrum suggests that the new record of the highest redshift of clusters of galaxies, from which X-ray and iron K-line emission were detected, was reached.
