Appendix B: Literature comparison of kinematic profiles

Comparison with previous data. Upper panels: velocity dispersion, lower panels: rotation curve. Different sources are marked with different symbols as explained in the captions. Notice that, in general, the PA of different authors do not exactly coincide. Those which are different from ours by more than 5$^{\circ}$ are the following: Bicknell et al. (1989) and Stiavelli et al. (1993) adopted PA = 84$^{\circ}$ for NGC 1399 (instead of 112$^{\circ}$); van der Marel & Franx (1993) adopted PA = 110$^{\circ}$ for NGC 1374 (instead of 120$^{\circ}$); D95 adopted PA = 65$^{\circ}$ for NGC 1419 (instead of 50$^{\circ}$).

  

Figure B1: Comparison with previous data. Upper panels: velocity dispersion, lower panels: rotation curve. The radial scale is in arcseconds. The continuous lines represent the present data, while the errors are marked by the dashed lines. Open boxes: Van der Marel & Franx (1993); filled boxes: Franx et al. (1989); open circles: Bicknell et al. (1989); filled dots: D'Onofrio et al. (1995)
