Abstract:

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 and the black hole mass, and to study the orbital structure. We use triaxial theoretical Abel models to investigate the robustness of the method.

Abstract:

We present a three-integral orbit superposition Schwarschild model of NGC 2974, observed with the integral-field unit SAURON. We explore the dynamical structure of the stars and gas.
