- Abstract
We report recent results from the photometric follow-up study we are conducting in the context of the SAURON project. We use ground-based MDM V-band and Spitzer/IRAC 3.6 µm imaging to characterise our sample of E, S0 and Sa galaxies photometrically. Combined with SAURON integral-field spectroscopic observations, this information allows us to explore and understand the location of these galaxies on the Fundamental Plane relation, providing an important diagnostic tool to study their formation and evolution.
