Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery and confirmation of eight new two-image lensed quasars by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Lens Search. The lenses are SDSS J0904+1512 (image separation θ = 1".13, source redshift zs = 1.826), SDSS J1054+2733 (θ = 1".27, zs= 1.452), SDSS J1055+4628 (θ = 1".15, zs= 1.249), SDSS J1131+1915 (θ = 1".46, zs= 2.915), SDSS J1304+2001 (θ = 1".87, zs= 2.175), SDSS J1349+1227 (θ = 3".00, zs= 1.722), SDSS J1455+1447 (θ = 1".73, zs= 1.424), and SDSS J1620+1203 (θ = 2".77, zs= 1.158). Three of them, SDSS J1055+4628, SDSS J1455+1447, and SDSS J1620+1203, satisfy the criteria for constructing our statistical sample for studying the cosmological model. Based on galactic absorption lines of the lens galaxies, we also derive lens redshifts of zl= 0.398 and zl= 0.513 for SDSS J1620+1203 and the previously discovered lens SDSS J0746+4403, respectively.
