Parameters of the rotation model calculated with kinemetry to describe the MUSE velocity field for NGC 3311. From top to bottom, the panels describe the rotation velocity (Vrot), the kinematic position angle (PAkin) and minor-to-major axis ((b/a)kin), and the fifth-to-first harmonic weight of the model(k5/Vrot) as a function of the kinematic semi-major axis akin. The horizontal dashed line in the bottom panel indicates the maximum threshold value of 0.04 for early-type galaxies set by the atlas3D survey. If the cosine function is a good approximation for the 2D velocity field, the k5/Vrot measured values would lie below this line.
