Abstract

Aims.High angular resolution images of the complex gravitational lens system RXS J1131-1231 (a quadruply imaged AGN with a bright Einstein ring) obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and NICMOS instruments onboard the Hubble Space Telescope are analysed to determine the lens model and to reconstruct the host galaxy.
