摘要：
In the gravitational lens system Q2237 + 0305 the cruciform quasar image geometry is twisted by 10 degrees by the lens effect of a bar in the lensing galaxy. This effect can be used to measure the mass of the bar. We construct a new lensing model for this system with a power-law elliptical bulge and a Ferrers bar. The observed ellipticity of the optical isophotes of the galaxy leads to a nearly isothermal elliptical profile for the bulge, with a total quasar magnification of 16(-4)(+5). We measure a bar mass of (7.5 +/- 1.5) x 10(8) h(75)(-1) M. in the region inside the quasar images.
