... With a redshift of 2.3, the IRAS source FSC 10214+4724 is apparently one of the most luminous objects known in the Universe. ... The most straightforward interpretation is that FSC 10214+4724 is gravitationally lensed by the foreground elliptical galaxy, with the faint component a counterimage of the IRAS source. ... The background lensed source has an intrinsic luminosity , and remains a highly luminous quasar with an extremely large ratio of infrared to optical/ultraviolet luminosity. ...
