Comparisons of stellar anisotropy β_ϕ and epicycle anisotropy βEA. All panels show normalized distributions in %. The bottom right panel compares the stellar anisotropy from CALIFA with the epicycle value derived from Hα rotation curves of the GHASP sample of Epinat et al. (2008a,b), while all other panels compare the stellar anisotropy from CALIFA with the epicycle value derived from CALIFA circular velocity curves of Kalinova et al. (2017). The top left graph is the total distribution of differences Δβ_ϕ = β_ϕ − β_EA for the 68 CALIFA galaxies with common β_ϕ and βEA. Blue shaded histograms are those of the stellar anisotropy, and red histograms those of the epicycle anisotropy.
