The Coma cluster is one of the richest known cluster of galaxies, spanning about 4 dex in density. Hence it is the ideal place to study the structure of galaxies as a function of environmental density in order to constrain the theories of galaxy formation and evolution. For a magnitude limited sample of 35 E and S0 galaxies we obtained long slit spectra to derive the rotation curves, the velocity dispersion profiles and the radial gradients of the Mg, Fe and H_beta line indices. Here we report on two early -- type galaxies which turned out to host the largest kinematically peculiar cores yet found in ``normal early -- type galaxies: NGC 4816 hosts a decoupled counter rotating core with a radial extension along the major axis of 2.7 kpc, while IC 4051 has a co-rotating peculiar core with a sizes of 3.4 kpc. We combine our data with HST photometry and show that both cores are flattened central stellar disks which contribute less than 1 % to the total V band light of the galaxies, but are nevertheless conspicuous (1 - 2 x 10**9 L_sun). The metallicity of the cores is 0.25 dex super solar and drops to solar and sub solar in the outer part of NGC 4816 and IC 4051, respectively. The mean stellar population in both central disks is old (8 - 12 Gyr) and highly overabundant in Mgb relative to <Fe> (approximatly 0.5 dex). We discuss the evidence that these central disks formed via dissipational major merger events.
We report the results of a high quality spectral study of early-type galaxies within the Coma Cluster core. Stellar population analysis using Lick/IDS indices to break the age/metallicity degeneracy are presented, probing their formation history and
We present stellar population parameters of twelve early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the Coma Cluster based on spectra obtained using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph on the Keck II Telescope. Our data allow us to examine in detail the zero-point
I have combined the Emsellem et al. ATLAS3D rotation measures of a large sample of early-type galaxies with HST-based classifications of their central structure to characterize the rotation velocities of galaxies with cores. Core galaxies rotate slow
The long-slit spectra obtained along the minor axis, offset major axis and diagonal axis are presented for 12 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma cluster drawn from a magnitude-limited sample studied before. The rotation curves, velocity dispersion profile
We present results from a series of follow-up observations of a sub-sample of the representative SAURON survey elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies using the OASIS integral-field spectrograph. These observations focus on the central 10 x 10, w
