[BBS2004] (Bolton+Burles+Schlegel+, 2004)
Write:<<[BBS2004] BG N.NNN>>
<<[BBS2004] BG N.NNNN>>
N: 49+13+2+10+87
Object:G  (SIMBAD class: Galaxy)
Stat:is completely incorporated in Simbad
Note:SDSS spectroscopic gravitational lens galaxies have a background (BG in the format) lensed galaxy defined by its redshift (N.NNNN in the format).
When two galaxies have the same redshift, to the second is given z = (N.NNNN +0.0001) in the format. When galaxies have a redshift N.NNN, the format is N.NNN0. For the definitive full sample (N=131) see SLACS.
