Problem 3: Gravitational Lensing by a Galaxy The Einstein Cross is a set of five images of a quasar at redshift z=1.695, shining through a spiral galaxy, 2237+0305, at z=0.039. Four of the images lie close to a circle of radius 0.9 arcseconds. (a) What is the distance to the spiral galaxy? (b) Estimate the mass of the spiral galaxy within this radius. [Hint: Notice that d, dLs, and see the lecture notes.]
