Orbital structure of triaxial galaxies
Glenn van de Ven, Ellen Verolme, Michele Cappellari +1
We have developed a method to construct realistic triaxial dynamical models for elliptical galaxies, allowing us to derive best-fitting parameters, such as the mass-to-light ratio…
Dynamical Modeling of SAURON Galaxies
M. Cappellari, R. C. E. van den Bosch, E. K. Verolme +11
We describe our program for the dynamical modeling of early-type galaxies observed with the panoramic integral-field spectrograph SAURON. We are using Schwarzschild's numerical orb…
SAURON: Observations of E/S0/Sa galaxies
H. Kuntschner, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +9
We present results from a new and unique integral-field spectrograph, SAURON. It has a large field of view and high throughput and is primarily built for the study of stellar & gas…
SAURON Observations of Disks in Spheroids
M. Bureau, R. Bacon, E. Emsellem +9
The panoramic integral-field spectrograph SAURON is currently being used to map the stellar kinematics, gaseous kinematics, and stellar populations of a large number of early-type…
SAURON: An Innovative Look at Early-Type Galaxies
M. Bureau, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9
A summary of the SAURON project and its current status is presented. SAURON is a panoramic integral-field spectrograph designed to study the stellar kinematics, gaseous kinematics,…
Kinemetry: quantifying kinematic maps
Y. Copin, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +7
We describe a new technique, kinemetry, to quantify kinematic maps of early-type galaxies in an efficient way. We present the first applications to velocity fields obtained with th…
