Radial profiles of NGC 4486A derived from SSP fits. The spectra are radially binned for a compromise between S/N and spatial resolution (they have at minimum S/N = 40). The profiles are folded around the position of the kinematical centre. The red points are for the positive radii (South side) and blue for negative; the tones separate the two setups (the darker colours are for the first setup). The abscissa is the position along the slit (a = x − 2.15). The vertical blue dashed line marks the effective isophote. From top to bottom the panels are: (1) the logarithm of the relative total flux; (2) the logarithm of 1/f; (3 to 7) the internal kinematics and the SSP-equivalent metallicity. The velocity and h₃ of the north side (blue points) are symmetrized. The points with f < 0.5 were excluded.
