Kinematics and dynamics of the elliptical galaxy NGC 5266.

In studies of triaxial elliptical galaxies, one of the least observationally studied phenomena is figure rotation. Figure rotation has important consequences for the orbital structure and could explain the survival of steep nuclear cusps. For this project, we thus wish to investigate the possibility...
