A Hybrid Photometric and Spectral Algorithm for Efficient Detection of Gravitationally Lensed Quasars

A novel method was developed to identify gravitationally lensed quasars, consisting of a morphological algorithm directed at finding wide-separation lens candidates and a point spread function (PSF)-difference-based algorithm aimed at identifying close-separation lens candidates.
