Abstract
The quadruply-imaged gravitationally lensed quasar PS J0147+4630 at redshift 2 is a good candidate for time delay cosmography and microlensing-based source structure studies. In this paper, new spectra of its four images are derived from archive data of two 10-m class telescopes. We focus on the unexplored near-IR spectral region including the Mg ii, H, [O iii] and H emission lines (0.9), and measure image flux ratios for the emission lines and their underlying continua, as well as a reliable quasar redshift of 2.357 ± 0.002. We also find evidence of an outflow in the H emission and estimate a quasar black-hole logarithmic mass = 9.34 ± 0.30.
