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…
On the Origin of the Colour-Magnitude Relation in the Virgo Cluster
Alexandre Vazdekis, Harald Kuntschner, Roger L. Davies +3
We explore the origin of the colour-magnitude relation (CMR) of early type galaxies in the Virgo cluster using spectra of very high S/N ratio for six elliptical galaxies selected a…
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…
Line-of-sight velocity distributions of low-luminosity elliptical galaxies
C. Halliday, Roger L. Davies, Harald Kuntschner +4
The shape of the line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD) is measured for a sample of 14 elliptical galaxies, predominantly low-luminosity ellipticals. The sample is dominated b…
