The Nature of Close Companions of the BL Lacertae Objects 1ES 0502+675 and 1ES 1440+122
We report on deep radio images and optical spectroscopy of two BL Lac objects that have very close compact companions. The two targets, 1ES 0502+675 and 1ES 1440+122, were selected from the Hubble Space Telescope imaging survey of 110 BL Lacs as candidates for possible gravitational lensing. The new observations clearly demonstrate that the
