We present new observations of the closest known strong-lensing galaxy, the σ ≈ 330 km s− 1 giant elliptical ESO325−G004, made with the ESO Very Large Telescope. The low redshift of the lens (zl = 0.035) results in arcs being formed at a small fracti... Read More about A giant elliptical galaxy with a lightweight initial mass function.

S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster : environmental dependence of the S0 offset from the Tully-Fisher relation (2013)
Journal Article

We present deep Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph long-slit spectroscopy of 15 Coma cluster S0 galaxies, and extract kinematic properties along the major axis to several times the disc scalelength. Supplementing our data set with previously published... Read More about S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster : environmental dependence of the S0 offset from the Tully-Fisher relation.
