A Survey for High-redshift Gravitationally Lensed Quasars and Close Quasar Pairs. I. The Discoveries of an Intermediately Lensed Quasar and a Kiloparsec-scale Quasar Pair at z ∼ 5
We present the first results from a new survey for high-redshift ( z ≳ 5) gravitationally lensed quasars and close quasar pairs. We carry out candidate selection based on the colors and shapes of objects in public imaging surveys, then conduct follow-up observations to confirm the nature of high-pri...
