General Description

The aim of this program is to measure galactic winds late-stage galaxy
 mergers at z=0.4-0.6.  The galaxies are relatively faint (i~19) and slightly extended
 (~3").  We are using the 1.6 and 1.5" slits and preforming acquistion by offseting
 from nearby bright stars.

We will measure wind outflow velocities using the Na I and Mg II interstellar medium
 absorption lines.  We require good S/N in the continuum in UVB orders 17-18 and
 VIS orders 18-19.  The NIR data is interesting, but is not essential to our science
 goals.  This program could be executed without the use of the NIR arm if necessary.
  

Most of our targets (8/10) will be observed in two hour-long OBs. Priority should
 be given to finishing observations for one target before moving on to the next.
