Revisiting the (V/sigma)-epsilon anisotropy diagram of early-type galaxies using integral-field kinematics

Abstract

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/sigma)-epsilon anisotropy diagram of early-type galaxies.
