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…
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…
VLT spectroscopy of globular cluster in NGC 3115
Harald Kuntschner, Bodo L. Ziegler, R. M. Sharples +2
We present results derived from VLT-FORS2 spectra of 17 globular clusters associated with the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC3115. Comparing line-strength indices to new stellar popul…
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…
Two-dimensional kinematics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies: First results from the SAURON survey
Roland Bacon, Martin Bureau, Michele Cappellari +9
We present the SAURON project, which is aimed at studying the morphology, two-dimensional kinematics and stellar populations of a representative sample of elliptical galaxies and s…
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…
