We present J-band spectroscopy of passive galaxies focusing on the Na i doublet at 1.14 μm. Like the Na i 0.82 μm doublet, this feature is strong in low-mass stars and hence may provide a useful probe of the initial mass function (IMF). From high sig...

We present results from a blind survey to identify strong gravitational lenses among the population of low-redshift early-type galaxies. The SINFONI Nearby Elliptical Lens Locator Survey (SNELLS) uses integral-field infrared spectroscopy to search fo...
