Specific angular momentum
against ellipticity ϵeff. The measured value for NGC 7252
is shown as the black star and compared to the fast (blue) and slow (red) rotating early-type galaxies as obtained from the ATLAS3D
survey (Emsellem et al. 2011). The black dashed line represents the proposed dividing line
proposed byEmsellem et al. (2011).
