Incidence

12  Ordinary looking Boxy-S0 galaxy  Regular stellar kinematics (Fisher et al. 1994)  Plateau in the light profile (Lutticke et al. 2000)  Photometrically detected central disk (Seifert & Scorza 1996)  Complex gas distribution, showing a strong counter-rotating H  component and a weak co-rotating one. (Plana & Boulesteix 1996)  Flat H  line-strength along major axis (Bender & Paquet 1999) A Case Study: NGC7332 A Case Study: NGC7332 (Falcón-Barroso et al. 2004) NGC7332 NGC7339

13 A Case Study: NGC7332 SAURON FoV I-band major axis light profile (Peletier & Balcells 1997)

14 Stellar Kinematics  Stellar Kinematics  A Kinematically Decoupled Core  Double-peak velocity dispersion  Kinematic Evidence of the Central Disk  Cylindrical Rotation A Case Study: NGC7332  Double-hump rotation curve Major-Axis

15  Complex gas distribution in general with some signs of ordered motion.  Off-plane gas clumps Gas Kinematics  Ionized Gas Kinematics A Case Study: NGC7332

16 Line Strength  Absorption Line Strength Raw Clean A Case Study: NGC7332 Age+Metallicity  Age+Metallicity

17 Interpretation of the Results: The presence of a bar Boxy bulge Plateau in the light profile Cylindrical Rotation Double-hump rotation curve Velocity dispersion profile with a central minimum and a plateau at moderate radii Strong h 3 – V anti-correlation (revealing the central disk) Homogeneous stellar populations (being 4-6 Gyr everywhere in the galaxy) The origin of the gas A tidal interaction with the neighbour galaxy NGC7339 Evolutionary Scenarios The bar has certainly affected the evolution of NGC7332 It is also quite possible that interactions played a role in the shaping of NGC7332 A Case Study: NGC7332

18 A look at galaxy bulges  Ongoing projects on bulges 24 Sa bulges (as part of the main survey) 24 Sa bulges (as part of the main survey) 11 S0-Sbc bulges from the Balcells & Peletier sample 11 S0-Sbc bulges from the Balcells & Peletier sample 22 Sb-Sm bulges (M. Carollo & R.F. Peletier) 22 Sb-Sm bulges (M. Carollo & R.F. Peletier)

19 The Balcells & Peletier Sample A sample of highly inclined (i>50º) nearby galaxies to look at pure bulges with no disk contamination. Photometry of 45 nearby bulges (Balcells & Peletier 1994) (Andredakis et al. 1995) (Peletier & Balcells 1997) (Balcells et al. 2003, 2004a, 2004b) Stellar Populations of 19 bulges (Peletier et al. 1999) (Falcón-Barroso et al. 2002) (Falcón-Barroso et al. 2003a) Kinematics of 19 nearby bulges (Falcón-Barroso et al. 2003b)

20  Long Slit spectroscopy (minor axis) of 19 bulges from the Balcells & Peletier sample  ISIS at WHT (La Palma)  Ca II triplet region  SSP models from Vazdekis et al. 2003 used as templates for kinematics Minor-Axis Stellar Kinematics in bulges Minor-Axis Stellar Kinematics in bulges (Falcón-Barroso et al 2003b)

21  Minor Axis Rotation Minor-Axis Stellar Kinematics in bulges  Rotation in the inner parts

22  Velocity Dispersion Profiles Centrally Peaked Profs.  Classical bulges  Large Vel. Disp. Gradient (  <<0) Flat Profiles  Bulges dominated by rotation (Pseudobulges?, Kormendy 1993)  Small Vel. Disp. Gradient (  ~0) Minor-Axis Stellar Kinematics in bulges

23  Velocity dispersion gradients No correlations were found with bulge luminosity, central velocity dispersion or Sérsic index n Barred or box-peanut bulges Non-Barred bulges Minor-Axis Stellar Kinematics in bulges

24  2 strong barred galaxies observed (Aug 2003) NGC936 NGC936 NGC6951 NGC6951 The Bar Project Jourdeuil The Bar Project (Jourdeuil et al.)  Scientific Goals 2D application of the Tremaine-Weinberg method to measure pattern speeds and quantify uncertainties in 1D data 2D application of the Tremaine-Weinberg method to measure pattern speeds and quantify uncertainties in 1D data Detailed study of the orbital structure using N-body simulations Detailed study of the orbital structure using N-body simulations Link between the orbital structure and the stellar populations Link between the orbital structure and the stellar populations

25 Conclusions   Stellar kinematics exhibits rich variety: (central disks pervasive; KDCs/CRs numerous; non-axisymmetry common) Number of KDCs/CRs likely to increase with higher spatial resolution (i.e. OASIS)   NGC7332 shows evidence for hosting a bar + signatures for recent interactions (with neighbour galaxy NGC7339?)   Big SAURON effort on spiral bulges (3 complementary samples are being studied) Long slit minor axis stellar kinematics, on the Balcells & Peletier sample, show a wide range of velocity dispersion profiles Both, flattened bulges and galaxies with brighter face-on disk central surface brightness showing shallower velocity dispersion profiles   A specific SAURON project on barred galaxies has started with the main goal of studying in detail the orbital distribution its link with stellar populations
