Structure and kinematics of early-type galaxies from integral field spectroscopy

M Cappellari - Annual review of astronomy and astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …
