Spiral Galaxies in the SAURON Survey
Reynier F. Peletier, Katia Ganda, Jesus Falcon-Barroso +11
We discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals.…
Fast and Slow Rotators: The build-up of the Red Sequence
Eric Emsellem, Michele Cappellari, Davor Krajnovic +11
Using the unique dataset obtained within the course of the SAURON project, a radically new view of the structure, dynamics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies has emerge…
Supermassive black holes from OASIS and SAURON integral-field kinematics
M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, R. L. Davies +10
Supermassive black holes are a key element in our understanding of how galaxies form. Most of the progress in this very active field of research is based on just ~30 determinations…
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…
The kinematics of Core and Cusp galaxies: comparing HST imaging and integral-field observations
J. Falcón-Barroso, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9
In this proceeding we look at the relationship between the photometric nuclear properties of early-type galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope imaging and their overall kinematics as…
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…
Absorption line-strengths of 18 late-type spiral galaxies observed with SAURON
Katia Ganda, Reynier F. Peletier, Richard M. McDermid +10
We present absorption line-strength maps for a sample of 18 Sb-Sd galaxies observed using the integral-field spectrograph SAURON. The SAURON spectral range allows the measurement o…
The SAURON project - XI. Stellar Populations from Absorption Line Strength Maps of 24 Early-Type Spirals
Reynier F. Peletier, Jesus Falcon-Barroso, Roland Bacon +10
We present absorption line strength maps of a sample of 24 representative early-type spiral galaxies, mostly of type Sa, obtained as part of the SAURON survey of nearby galaxies us…
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…
The Nature of Galactic Bulges from SAURON Absorption Line Strength Maps
Reynier F. Peletier, Jesus Falcon-Barroso, Katia Ganda +10
We discuss SAURON absorption line strength maps of a sample of 24 early-type spirals, mostly Sa. From the Lick indices H, Mg b and Fe 5015 we derive SSP-ages and metallicities.…
