Tracing S0 galaxies' evolution using planetary nebulae kinematics

The stellar kinematics of the spheroids and disks of SO galaxies contain clues to their formation histories. Unfortunately, it is difficult to study these components using con- ventional absorption line spectroscopy - it is difficult to disentangle the two compo- nents and to recover the stellar kin...
