	Figure 2: Illustration of the velocity dispersion determinations using optimal templates for NGC 7332 ( upper plot) and UGC 10043 ( lower plot). For each plot, the upper panels show the observed galaxy spectrum (thick line) and the corrected optimal template spectrum (thin line). The residuals of the fits are shown in the lower panels.

	Figure 3: Velocity dispersion profiles for the galaxy sample. Filled and open symbols refer to spectra of the bulges at either side of the galaxy centers. The plotted lines represent polynomial fits to the profiles. See text for details.

Figure 4: Comparison of the line-strength indices in the Lick/IDS spectra and the measurements in our sample of stars after correcting to the Lick/IDS system. Different symbols refer to the different observing runs, using the following code: circles for runs 1 and 2, triangles for run 3, and stars for runs 4 and 5. In the case of the TiO indices, both TiO1 are TiO2 are plotted in the same panel, using closed and open symbols for both indices, respectively. The length of the error bar near the left end of each panel is twice the rms standard deviation of each dataset with respect to the zero offset horizontal line.

Figure 5: Comparison of the line-strength indices measured in the central regions with data from other workers. Different symbols are used for different galaxies: squares for NGC 5084, crosses for NGC 6010, triangles for NGC 7703, circles for NGC 7332, and stars for NGC 7814. Color codes refer to data from Trager et al. (1998) (red), Sánchez-Blázquez et al. (2006) (blue), Caldwell et al. (2003) (magenta), Kuntschner et al. (2007) (orange), Denicoló et al. (2005) (green), and other sources (black).
