Parameter values of the best-fitting PEMD plus-external-shear macro model for four lens galaxies from our SLACS sub-sample, selected for further analysis due to a relatively simple geometry and no substantial galaxy-core residuals, in comparison to earlier F814W and F555W reconstructions performed by Vegetti et al. (2014). The models are based on lens-galaxy-subtracted HST/WFC3/F390W-images obtained using alternatively galfit or b-spline. The mass distribution of the lens galaxy is modelled with the following set of free parameters: the lens strength b, the position angle θ (with respect to the original telescope rotation), the axis ratio q, the (3D) mass-density slope γ, the external shear strength Γ, and its position angle Γθ. Additionally, we quote the source-grid resolution n and the type of source-plane regularization (Reg.) that lead to models with the highest marginalized Bayesian evidence. G indicates the gradient regularization, C the curvature regularization and adp an adaptive regularization. The typical statistical errors of the parameter values are of the order 10−1 for the angles and 10−3 for the remaining parameters.
