MNELLS: The MUSE Nearby Early-Type Galaxy Lens Locator Survey

William P. Collier, Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey

Low-redshift strong-lensing galaxies can provide robust measurements of the stellar mass-to-light ratios in early-type galaxies (ETG), and hence constrain variations in the stellar…

Subaru FOCAS IFU observations of two z=0.12 strong-lensing elliptical galaxies from SDSS MaNGA

Russell J. Smith, William P. Collier, Shinobu Ozaki +1

We present new observations of two z=0.12 strong-lensing elliptical galaxies, originally discovered from the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey, using the new FOCAS IFU spectrograph on the Subar…

`Upper-Limit Lensing': Constraining galaxy stellar masses with singly-imaged background sources

Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey, William P. Collier

Strong gravitational lensing can provide accurate measurements of the stellar mass-to-light ratio in low-redshift ( 0.05) early-type galaxies, and hence probe for…

A new strong-lensing galaxy at z=0.066: Another elliptical galaxy with a lightweight IMF

William P. Collier, Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey

We report the discovery of a new low-redshift galaxy-scale gravitational lens, identified from a systematic search of publicly available MUSE observations. The lens galaxy, 2MASXJ0…

Improved mass constraints for two nearby strong-lensing elliptical galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope Imaging

William P. Collier, Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey

We analyse newly obtained Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging for two nearby strong lensing elliptical galaxies, SNL-1 (z = 0.03) and SNL-2 (z = 0.05), in order to improve the len…
