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…
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…
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 -- 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…
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…
Orbital structure of triaxial galaxies
Glenn van de Ven, Ellen Verolme, Michele Cappellari +1
We have developed a method to construct realistic triaxial dynamical models for elliptical galaxies, allowing us to derive best-fitting parameters, such as the mass-to-light ratio…
