Redshift
2.197

Quasar at z = 2.197 lensed into two images 22.5 arcsec apart, the widest separation known when found (Inada et al. 2006); a third image close to one of them makes it a naked-cusp configuration (Oguri et al. 2008). Its time delay is about two years (Fohlmeister et al. 2013). Later papers study flux-ratio anomalies, X-ray emission and outflows seen along the different sight lines.
