Dark Matter in the Central Regions of Early Type Galaxies

M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +12

We investigate the well-known correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio M/L and other global observables of elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies. We construct t…

The SAURON project - V. Integral-field emission-line kinematics of 48 elliptical and lenticular galaxies

M. Sarzi, J. Falcon-Barroso, R. L. Davies +10

We present the emission-line fluxes and kinematics of 48 representative elliptical and lenticular galaxies obtained with our custom-built integral-field spectrograph SAURON. Hb, [O…

Revisiting the (V/sigma)-epsilon anisotropy diagram of early-type galaxies using integral-field kinematics

M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +11

We use integral-field observation of the stellar kinematics obtained with SAURON in combination with Schwarzschild dynamical models to revisit our understanding of the classic (V/s…

Stellar Kinematics and Populations of Early-Type Galaxies with the SAURON and OASIS Integral-Field Spectrographs

R. M. McDermid, R. Bacon, H. Kuntschner +10

We summarise the results and achievements of integral-field spectroscopy of early-type galaxies, observed as part of a survey using both the SAURON and OASIS spectrographs. From th…

Three-Dimensional Bar Structure and Disc/Bulge Secular Evolution

M. Bureau, G. Aronica, E. Athanassoula

Kn-band imaging of a sample of 30 edge-on spiral galaxies with a boxy or peanut-shaped (B/PS) bulge is discussed. Galaxies with a B/PS bulge tend to have a more complex morphology…

The SAURON project - IV. The mass-to-light ratio, the virial mass estimator and the fundamental plane of elliptical and lenticular galaxies

M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +12

We investigate with unprecedented accuracy the correlations between the dynamical mass-to-light ratio M/L and other global observables of E and S0 galaxies. We construct two-integr…
