Two-component mass models of the lensing galaxy in the quadruply imaged supernova iPTF16geu

The first resolved, multiply imaged supernova Type Ia, iPTF16geu, was observed 4 years ago, five decades after such systems were first envisioned. Because of the unique properties of the source, these systems hold a lot of promise for the study of galaxy structure and cosmological parameters. Howeve...
