Fig. 2.

Left panels: colour-composite HST/ACS images of the 6 galaxies in our sample. Middle panels: stellar mean velocity and velocity dispersion maps as derived from our SINFONI observations. Over-plotted are contours with constant surface brightness, as derived from our reconstructed K-band images. The white circles illustrate the effective radius of the NSCs based on the inner Sersić fits on HST z-band images (Turner et al. 2012). Right panels: |V|/σ radial distribution of the bins. The vertical dashed lines illustrate the effective radii of the NSCs in z-band. All maps and images are orientated such that north is up and east is to the left.
