| dc.description | A contour plot of positive iso-J curves is shown for a gravitational binary lens epsilon_2 = 0.1883 and ell = 0.687. The caustic curve is made of 4-cusped central caustic (so-called "stealth bomber") on the lens axis and two triangular caustics off the lens axis. The cusps of the trioids are all negative cusps. The positive image magnification contours outside the positive cusps on the lens axis are elongated along the symmetry axis. It is in contrast with figure 4 of astro-ph/0206162 (Gaudi and Petters) where the contours appear to contract along the symmetry axis. We apologize if our citation of their figure 4 without the caution played any role of causing confusion with readers. | |
