5 Conclusions

We presented new radially resolved spectroscopy of 10 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma cluster. We derived rotation curves, velocity dispersion profiles and the H₃ and H₄ coefficients of the Hermite decomposition of the line of sight velocity distribution along the minor axis, the offset major axis and one diagonal direction. Moreover, we measured the line index profiles of Mg, Fe and H$\beta$line indices. The data complement the existing set along the major axis and have a precision and radial extent sufficient to construct flattened and rotating dynamical models of the galaxies and study their radially resolved stellar populations. Future papers of this series will address these issues.
