Two-integral Schwarzschild models
E. K. Verolme, P. T. de Zeeuw
We describe a practical method for constructing axisymmetric two-integral galaxy models (with distribution functions of the form f(E,L_z), in which E is the orbital energy, and L_z…
The SAURON project. II. Sample and early results
P. T. de Zeeuw, M. Bureau, E. Emsellem +9
Early results are reported from the SAURON survey of the kinematics and stellar populations of a representative sample of nearby E, S0 and Sa galaxies. The survey is aimed at deter…
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…
Ionized Gas in Spheroids: The SAURON Survey
D. Krajnovic, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +11
Early results are reported from the SAURON survey of the kinematics and stellar populations of nearby cluster and field E, S0, and Sa galaxies. We present maps of the Hbeta and [OI…
The SAURON project. I. The panoramic integral-field spectrograph
R. Bacon, Y. Copin, G. Monnet +10
A new integral-field spectrograph, SAURON, is described. It is based on the Tiger principle, and uses a lenslet array. SAURON has a large field of view and high throughput, and all…
