Artifact or something else?

Welcome! I've found 4 blue dots. Could they be supernovae or artifacts?

The question had nothing to do with gravitational lensing.

Here is an explanation of blue dots.

Simulated galaxy from Illustris http://www.illustris-project.org/ the site has information about the project write to the authors and ask them if they intended to simulate gravitational lensing with thin lsb E3 objects. Ask about SN and artifacts too.
