5 Presentation of the results

Determinations of the heliocentric radial velocity $v_{\rm hel}$ and central velocity dispersion $\sigma_0$ are listed in Cols. (10) and (11) of Table 1. The V(r) and $\sigma(r)$ profiles are presented in Fig. 1, and also in Table 3, which is available in electronic form only. Table 1 also lists (Col. 12) a factor $f_{\rm bulge}$ measuring the effects of resolution and disk-light contamination on the central velocity dispersion of the bulge; let us recall that the calculation of this factor, extensively discussed in the Appendix of Paper I, takes into account atmospheric and instrumental resolution, kinematical effect due to bulge rotation, and mixing of bulge and disk light as derived by a simple two-component model.

As in SP and Paper I, we have adopted the following convention for the position angle PA: for $0<{\rm PA}<180\hbox{$^\circ$}$, r<0 corresponds to the eastern side of the galaxy, for $180<{\rm PA}<360\hbox{$^\circ$}$, r<0 corresponds to the western side, and for ${\rm PA}=0\hbox{$^\circ$}$, r<0 is to the North.

Tables 1, 2, and 3 are available from the CDS. The data presented here, including the graphs of Fig. 1, are also available from the Hypercat database, whose URL is given in the Appendix.
