We thank the referee for useful comments and help in improving the content of this paper. We would like to thank Luis Goicoechea for interesting discussions on the topic. We thank the PhD student H.H. Chan for his efforts in testing the NFW lens model based on the data presented in this paper. We appreciate the Subaru time allocation committee for scheduling our observations (proposal ID: S12A0150S; PI: E. Koptelova). The research project was supported by the National Taiwan University grant No. 10R40044 and by the Taiwan National Science Councils grant No. NSC99-2811-M-002-051. This research has made use of the ESO Science Archive data taken with the VLT telescope.

N2 - Aims. We performed a detailed photometric analysis of the lensed system UM673 (Q0142-100) and an analysis of the tentative lens models. Methods. High-resolution adaptive optics images of UM673 taken with the Subaru telescope in the H band were examined. We also analysed the J, H and K-band observational data of UM673 obtained with the 1.3 m telescope at the CTIO observatory. Results. We present photometry of quasar components A and B of UM673, the lens, and the nearby bright galaxy using H-band observational data obtained with the Subaru telescope. Based on the CTIO observations of UM673, we also present J- and H-band photometry and estimates of the J, H and K-band flux ratios between the two UM673 components in recent epochs. The near-infrared fluxes of the A and B components of UM673 and their published optical fluxes are analysed to measure extinction properties of the lensing galaxy. We estimate the extinction-corrected flux ratio between components A and B to be about 2.14 mag. We discuss lens models for the UM673 system constrained with the positions of the UM673 components, their flux ratio, and the previously measured time delay.
