Kinemetry: a generalisation of photometry to the higher moments of the line-of-sight velocity distribution
Davor Krajnovic, Michele Cappellari, P. Tim de Zeeuw +1
We present a generalisation of surface photometry to the higher-order moments of the line-of-sight velocity distribution of galaxies observed with integral-field spectrographs. The…
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…
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…
