Description
With advances in observational astronomy, especially with IFU
surveys such as SAURON, a more detailed picture of nearby elliptical
galaxies emerges. Kinematical features
such as decoupled components, gas disks, velocity dispersion dips and
many others seem to be commonplace. How does the merging of galaxies
fit into the picture? Tell-tale signature of merging, orbital
structure of merger remants, the influence of gas and dry merging
will be discussed.
