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…
The Formation of Galactic Bulges
Reynier Peletier, Marc Balcells, Jesus Falcon-Barroso +1
We summarise some recent results about nearby galactic bulges that are relevant to their formation. We highlight a number of significant advances in our understanding of the surfac…
Kinematics in the starbursting circumnuclear region of M100
Emma L. Allard, Reynier F. Peletier, Johan H. Knapen
We have obtained integral-field spectroscopic data, using the SAURON instrument, of the bar and starbursting circumnuclear region in the barred spiral galaxy M100. From our data we…
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…
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…
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,…
