SAURON: Observations of E/S0/SA galaxies
REV MEX AST ASTR 17 (2003) 199-199
Abstract:
We present results from a new and unique integral-field spectrograph, SAURON. It has a large field of view and high throughput and is primarily built for the study of stellar & gaseous kinematics and stellar populations in galaxies. Its aim is to carry out a systematic survey of the velocity fields, velocity dispersions, and line-strength distributions of nearby ellipticals, lenticular galaxies and spiral bulges.The Counterrotating Core and the Black Hole Mass of IC 1459
