The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2016 follow-up campaign - II.
We report upon the follow-up of 34 candidate lensed quasars found in the Dark Energy Survey using NTT EFOSC, Magellan-IMACS, KECK-ESI, and SOAR-SAMI. These candidates were selected by a combination of double component fitting, morphological assessment, and colour analysis. Most systems followed up a...

We report upon the follow-up of 34 candidate lensed quasars found in the Dark Energy Survey using NTT EFOSC, Magellan-IMACS, KECK-ESI, and SOAR-SAMI.

The two systems confirmed as genuine gravitationally lensed quasars are one quadruple at zs = 1.713 and one double at zs = 1.515.
