Scientific paper

Cycle 4 HST FOC objective prism images of the luminous z=3.16 quasar UM670 suggest that this object may be gravitationally lensed, with the components having a separation of only 0.1" and a magnitude difference of about 2 magnitudes. Such a small-separation object would be unique among known lens candidates and would require revision of inputs to models of gravitational lens statistics. We propose to confirm this finding through high-resolution imaging using the FOC.
