Recap of the main experimental findings:
There is a quantum mirage when a Co atom is placed at one of the foci.
1.
2. No mirage when the Co atom is placed away from the foci.
The quantum mirage oscillates with 4kFa.
The magnitude of the mirage depends only weakly on the ellipse eccentricity.

Conclusions
STM measurements of magnetic impurities on metallic surfaces offer a unique opportunity to study the Kondo effect.
Detailed theory presented for the quantum mirage, which explains the 4kFa oscillations and the weak dependence on the eccentricity.
The line shapes observed for individual impurities can be understood by the Kondo-Fano effect.
