LRG-3-757-Horseshoe-
Cosmic Horseshoe (J1148+1930) with gravitational lensing
The center of the lens galaxy , at a redshift of 0.444, lies at (11:48:33.15 ; 19:30:03.5) of the epoch J2000. The tangential arc is a star-forming galaxy at redshift 2.381, which is strongly lensed into a nearly full Einstein ring (≈300◦ ), whose radius is around 5"
seen by HST GO 11602, WFC3 imaging in five bands {F475W, F606W, F814W, F110W, and F160W}
My color composite with JS9
