论文摘要
提出了一种简单的新手友好型方案，用于对四倍镜头类星体的图像配置进行分类。只有六个类，它是有意的粗粒。它着重于这些构型或缺失的旋风和循环。故意忽略其他功能，尽管对专业天文学家的重要性。邀请读者在12个四镜镜头系统样本中测试该方案。该方案的理论基础在技术附录中描述。
A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It focuses on the kitelikeness and circularity of these configurations, or the absence thereof. Other features are deliberately ignored, their importance to professional astronomers notwithstanding. Readers are invited to test drive the scheme on a sample of 12 quadruply lensed quasar systems. The theoretical underpinnings of the scheme are described in a technical appendix.
