TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed dynamical models for a sample of 36 nearby galaxies with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry and ground-based kinematics, assuming that each galaxy is axisymmetric, with a two-integral distribution function, arbitrary inclination angle, a position-independent stellar mass-to-light ratio, and a central massive dark object of arbitrary mass M•.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors fit axisymmetric three-integral dynamical models to NGC 3379 using the line-of-sight velocity distribution obtained from Hubble Space Telescope FOS spectra of the galaxy center and ground-based long-slit spectroscopy along four position angles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of luminous and dark matter in Coma early-type galaxies was studied using Lick absorption line indices, and it was shown that the tilt in the fundamental plane can be explained by systematic variations of the total (stellar + dark) mass inside the effective radius.

TL;DR: In this paper, a one-parameter family of spherical models with different constant velocity dispersion anisotropy was used to analyze the full (R,v) dataset of galaxy positions and velocities in an attempt to break this degeneracy.

TL;DR: The stellar kinematics of the low-luminosity elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B have been measured in this article with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and Subarcsecond Imaging Spectrograph.
