摘要
ATLAS(3D) is a multi-wavelength, volume-limited survey of 263 morphologically-selected early-type galaxies within a distance of 42 Mpc and complete to M-K <= -21.5. Here we present the ATLAS(3D) project and our first results on the stellar populations of galaxies in the ATLAS(3D) sample based on SAURON integral-field spectroscopy. We show relations between integrated line-strength indices and stellar velocity dispersion sigma in the range 55 <= sigma(km/s) <= 350. We derive simple-stellar-population-equivalent age, metallicity and alpha/Fe abundance ratio and discuss their relation to stellar velocity dispersion, environment and galaxy internal kinematics. These preliminary results indicate that slow rotators tend to be older and have less variation in age than fast rotators. We also find that galaxies in lower density environments are on average younger than those in denser environments, as found by other authors.
