(2017) SDSS-IV MaNGA: probing the kinematic morphology–density relation of early-type galaxies with MaNGA. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 851 (2). L33. ISSN 2041-8213 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractThe “kinematic” morphology–density relation for early-type galaxies posits that those galaxies with low angular momentum are preferentially found in the highest-density regions of the universe. We use a large sample of galaxy groups with halo masses 1012.5 < Mhalo< 1014.5 h -1 M observed with the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey to examine whether there is a correlation between local environment and rotational support that is independent of stellar mass. We find no compelling evidence for a relationship between the angular momentum content of early-type galaxies and either local overdensity or radial position within the group at fixed stellar mass.
