Stellar luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity, V⋆ (top left), velocity dispersion, σ⋆ (top right, with r-band surface brightness contours overlaid in white), h3 (bottom left) and h4 (bottom right) maps derived with NGIST and binned to S/N = 100 for the galaxy NGC 3279, a galaxy with no obvious visual bulge structure. Galaxies are shown such that the dust lane (and photometric major axis) are oriented horizontally, and such that the dust lane (if offset) is to the lower side of the image. Holes in the maps are regions where bright stars have been masked. Flux contours are overlaid on the σ⋆ maps to highlight the dust lane effects, but not for the V⋆, h3, and h4 maps, to aid in central structure recognition.
