+ | Spingola et al. (2018) analysed these observations and identified lensed emission corresponding to the same source component, providing a very large number of constraints on the mass model that also sampled a large radial and tangential extent. When performing the mass modelling of this system, they found a discrepancy between the observed and predicted positions of the lensed images, with an average position rms of the order of 3 mas, which is much larger that the measurement errors (40 μas on average). A possible explanation for the offset between the observed and model-predicted positions is the presence of some additional mass structure (e.g. Metcalf & Madau 2001). However, since the lensing galaxy lies in a small group of galaxies, it is not clear whether this extra mass is in the form of sub-haloes within the lens or along the line of sight, or from a more complex halo for the galaxy group.
