Stellar Velocity Profiles and Line-Strengths out to Four Effective Radii in the Early-Type Galaxy NGC 3379

A. Weijmans, M. Cappellari, P. T. de Zeeuw +6

We describe a new technique to measure stellar kinematics and line-strengths at large radii in nearby galaxies. Using the integral-field spectrograph SAURON as a 'photon-collector'…

The SAURON project - XII. Kinematic substructures in early-type galaxies: evidence for disks in fast rotators

Davor Krajnovic, R. Bacon, Michele Cappellari +10

[Abridged] We analysed two-dimensional maps of 48 early-type galaxies obtained with the SAURON and OASIS integral-field spectrographs using kinemetry, a generalisation of surface p…

Recent Star Formation in Nearby Early-type Galaxies

M. Sarzi, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9

Motivated by recent progress in the study of early-type galaxies owing to technological advances, the launch of new space telescopes and large ground-based surveys, we attempt a sh…

Towards a new classification of early-type galaxies: an integral-field view

J. Falcón-Barroso, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9

In this proceeding we make use of the two-dimensional stellar kinematics of a representative sample of E and S0 galaxies obtained with the SAURON integral-field spectrograph to rev…

The SAURON project -- X. The orbital anisotropy of elliptical and lenticular galaxies: revisiting the (V/sigma,epsilon) diagram with integral-field stellar kinematics

M. Cappellari, E. Emsellem, R. Bacon +11

We analyse the orbital distribution of E and S0 galaxies using SAURON integral-field stellar kinematics. We construct the anisotropy (V/sigma,epsilon) diagram, for the 48 E/S0 gala…

The SAURON project -- IX. A kinematic classification for early-type galaxies

Eric Emsellem, Michele Cappellari, Davor Krajnovic +10

2D stellar kinematics of 48 representative E and S0 galaxies obtained with the SAURON IFS reveal that early-type galaxies appear in two broad flavours, depending on whether they ex…
