plotted with thick orange and green lines. The SAURON sample is plotted in grey. We choose not to plot the full ATLAS3D sample of 260 galaxies in order to keep the plot legible. Fast rotators are plotted as solid lines and slow rotators are plotted as dashed lines. Fast rotators have a convex profile, and slow rotators have a concave profile.

SAURON galaxies are plotted as triangles, ATLAS3D galaxies are plotted as crosses, BCGs from this study are plotted as squares, and Companion galaxies from this study are plotted as plus symbols. The blue line indicates the division between fast rotating and slow rotating galaxies. We find that three BCGs (1048, 1153, 1261) and four companions (1027, 1066, 1048) are classified as fast rotators. as fast rotators. We find that 3 BCGs and all 4 com- Jimmy et. al.

Plot symbols are also color coded, with orange indicating a fast rotating galaxy, and green indicating a slow rotating galaxy. Galaxies plotted on the negative side of the x-axis are classified as not merging by the G M20 criteria, galaxies on the positive side of the x-axis are classified as merging.
