Scaling relations in early-type galaxies from integral-field stellar kinematics

Abstract

We study the origin of the scaling relations of early-type galaxies (ETGs) by constructing detailed models of the stellar dynamics for the K-band selected, volume-limited ATLAS3D sample of 263 nearby ETGs, spanning a large range of masses and stellar velocity dispersions (60 < sigma < 350 km/s).
