Information on Service 'Spectra of lensed QSOs (SSAP)'

An archive of optical and near-infrared spectra of strongly lensed quasars and the lensing galaxies. The spectra are resolved to about a few Ångstroms and are flux-calibrated. The spectra resulted from deblending the lensed images in bidimensional spectra available from the SSAP service for ivo://org.gavo.dc/mlqso/q/s.

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this service's resource, see Information on resource 'Spectra of Strongly Lensed Quasars'
