Descripción
Based on the stellar orbit distribution derived from orbit-superposition
Schwarzschild models, we decompose each of 250 representative
present-day galaxies into four orbital components: cold with strong
rotation, warm with weak rotation, hot with dominant random motion, and
counter-rotating (CR). We rebuild the surface brightness (Σ) of
each orbital component and we present in figures and tables a
quantification of their morphologies using the Sersic index n,
concentration C = log {(Σ _{0.1R_e}/Σ _{R_e})} and intrinsic
flattening qRe and qRmax, with Re the
half-light radius and Rmax the CALIFA data coverage. We find
that: (1) kinematic hotter components are generally more concentrated
and rounder than colder components, and (2) all components become more
concentrated and thicker/rounder in more massive galaxies; they change
from disc-like in low-mass late-type galaxies to bulge-like in high-mass
early type galaxies. Our findings suggest that Sersic n is not a good
discriminator between rotating bulges and non-rotating bulges. The
luminosity fraction of cold orbits fcold is well correlated
with the photometrically decomposed disc fractiondisc f_disc as f_{cold}
= 0.14 + 0.23f_{disc}. Similarly, the hot orbit fraction fhot
is correlated with the bulge fraction fbulge as f_{hot} =
0.19 + 0.31f_{bulge}. The warm orbits mainly contribute to discs in
low-mass late-type galaxies, and to bulges in high-mass early-type
galaxies. The cold, warm, and hot components generally follow the same
morphology (ɛ = 1 - qRmax) versus kinematics (σ
_z^2/\overline{V_{tot}^2}) relation as the thin disc, thick
disc/pseudo-bulge, and classical bulge identified from cosmological
simulations.

Evolución de Galaxias en Cúmulos
Las estructuras en el Universo, a todas las escalas de masa, se han formado de una forma jerárquica y principalmente producidas por fusiones de galaxias. Sin embargo, esta formación jerárquica de las galaxias está modulada por el entorno en el cual se crean y evolucionan. Mientras que las galaxias de campo presentan una evolución pasiva, los
