Abstract:
Major axis rotation curves and velocity dispersions profiles, extending
out to about one effective radius, are presented for 15 ellipticals and
S0's out of the photometric sample of Fornax cluster galaxies studied by
Caon et al. (1994). A brief description of the spectroscopic and
photometric characteristics of each galaxy is provided, together with a
comparison with previous studies. Six of the nine E's are possibly
misclassified S0's or ellipticals harboring a disk-like component. Two
galaxies (NGC 1399 and 1404) show a hint of counter-rotation. Evidence is
given that the bright and the ordinary families of early-type galaxies,
first introduced by Capaccioli et al. (1992), look distinct also in term of
the anisotropy parameter (V_m_/{sigma})*.
