'found three systems (J021511.4-034306, J022234.3-031616 and J022607.0-040301) which met our color and morphological criteria and are the best grav itational lens candidates. They are point-like source pairs with similar colors. With a high probability they could be QSO/AGN. For a final confirmation we need spectroscopic observations of the multiple components of the selected systems.'

Other potential strong gravitational candidate to be confirmed

quote: "Candidate J022324.0-054928 is composed of one faint and two symmetric bright components. The system is wide and we took the magnitudes of the components from the CFHTLS catalogue. The colors of those components are very different."
