| contents | In the course of studying the 3C 220.3 lensing system, spectra were obtained with the Binospec instrument on the MMT for 511 additional objects in 3C 220.3's vicinity. These gave 146 good-quality galaxy redshifts and identified 126 Galactic stars. The galaxy redshift histogram shows a peak near 3C 220.3's redshift, but there is no evidence for or against a galaxy group within 2 Mpc of 3C 220.3 itself. The spectra revealed 12 AGN candidates including a likely $z\approx4.64$ broad-line QSO. Visible and near-infrared imaging with HST allowed morphological classifications of 14 galaxies. One system is a potential analog of the Milky Way-LMC system with stellar mass ratio $\sim$0.6. |
