The ATLAS(3D) project - II. Morphologies, kinemetric features and alignment between photometric and kinematic axes of early-type galaxies

We use the ATLAS3D sample of 260 early-type galaxies to study the apparent kinematic misalignment angle, Ψ, defined as the angle between the photometric and kinematic major axes. We find that 71 per cent of nearby early-type galaxies are strictly aligned systems (Ψ≤ 5°), an additional 14 per cent ha...
