The ATLAS(3D) project - I. A volume-limited sample of 260 nearby early-type galaxies: science goals and selection criteria

The ATLAS3D project is a multiwavelength survey combined with a theoretical modelling effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimetre and optical, and provide multicolour imaging, two-dimensional kinematics of the atomic (Hi), molecular (CO) and ionized gas (Hβ, [Oiii] and [Ni]), toge...
