HST WFC3 F125W co-added image before and after the best-fitting Sérsic model of the early-type galaxy lens (z = 0.54) is subtracted. The top panel shows the image before subtraction of the early-type galaxy, and the bottom panel shows the result after subtraction. In a previous and separate step, the cluster’s BCG has already been modeled and subtracted to create the “before” image. The four point sources in the Einstein-cross configuration are images S1–S4 of SN Refsdal, and the underlying distorted spiral galaxy is the host galaxy of the SN (z = 1.49).
