Scientific paper
The twin-galaxies field was tentatively suggested by Cowie and Hu (1987) as a candidate for gravitational lensing by a cosmic string. Observations of the field were made at a wavelength of 20 cm with the A array of the VLA. Radio emission was detected, apparently associated with one galaxy of one of the pairs. The power and morphology are typical of a common class of radio sources, and there is nothing unusual about the properties of the radio emission to suggest that it is influenced by gravitational lensing or due to emission from the cosmic string itself.
