TL;DR: In this article, the authors used three integral axisymmetric toy models to show that flattening by stellar anisotropy maximises the entropy for a given density distribution.

TL;DR: The stellar kinematics of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B have been measured in this article, where the velocity dispersion gradient is very steep: sigma increases from 116 +- 6 km/s at r = 2" - 6" to 281 +- 11 km /s at the center.
