0957 + 561 A, B: twin quasistellar objects or gravitational lens?

D Walsh et al. Nature. .

Abstract

0957 + 561 A, B are two QSOs of mag 17 with 5.7 arc s separation at redshift 1.405. Their spectra leave little doubt that they are associated. Difficulties arise in describing them as two distinct objects and the possibility that they are two images of the same object formed by a gravitational lens is discussed.
