- Abstract
We present wide-field images of the quadruple gravitational lenses B1422+231
and MGJ0414+0534 obtained from global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI)
observations at 8.4 GHz on 23 November 1997. We present also a lens model for
MGJ0414+0534, which reproduces the core positions and flux densities of the
VLBI images, combining a singular isothermal ellipsoid with external shear, and
a singular isothermal sphere to represent, respectively, the main lens galaxy
and its neighbor, a faint galaxy near one of the images.
