The SAURON project - XII. Kinematic substructures in early-type galaxies: evidence for disks in fast rotators
Davor Krajnovic, R. Bacon, Michele Cappellari +10
[Abridged] We analysed two-dimensional maps of 48 early-type galaxies obtained with the SAURON and OASIS integral-field spectrographs using kinemetry, a generalisation of surface p…
The pseudobulge of NGC 1292
L. Morelli, E. Pompei, A. Pizzella +6
The photometric and kinematic properties of Sb NGC 1292 suggest it hosts a pseudobulge. The properties of the stellar population of such a pseudobulge are consistent with a slow bu…
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…
Upper limits on the mass of supermassive black holes from STIS archival data
A. Beifiori, E. M. Corsini, E. Dalla Bonta' +4
The growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) appears to be closely linked with the formation of spheroids. There is a pressing need to acquire better statistics on SMBH masses, s…
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…
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…
