Fast and slow rotators: The build-up of the red sequence
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union 3:S245 (2007) 11-14
Abstract:
Using the unique dataset obtained within the course of the SAURON project, a radically new view of the structure, dynamics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies has emerged. We show that galaxies come in two broad flavours (slow and fast rotators), depending on whether or not they exhibit clear large-scale rotation, as indicated via a robust measure of the specific angular momentum of baryons. This property is also linked with other physical characteristics of early-type galaxies, such as: the presence of dynamically decoupled cores, orbital structure and anisotropy, stellar populations and dark matter content. I here report on the observed link between this baryonic angular momentum and a mass sequence, and how this uniquely relates to the building of the red sequence via dissipative/dissipationless mergers and secular evolution. © 2008 Copyright International Astronomical Union 2008.Internal kinematics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster

Abstract:
We present a study of the internal kinematics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster. 10 galaxies in a luminosity range of 21.8MB17.4 were observed with the integral field units (IFU) of Gemini South GMOS and VLT-VIMOS. Velocity maps and age-metallicity diagrams are presented for NGC 1404 and NGC 1419. © 2008 Copyright International Astronomical Union 2008.Rejuvenation of spiral bulges
