Stellar kinematics across the Hubble sequence in the CALIFA survey: general properties and aperture corrections Ruiz Lara, Tomás Galaxies: kinematics and dynamics Galaxies: elliptical and lenticular Galaxies: spiral Galaxies: structure Galaxies: evolution Galaxies: formation We would like to thank the anonymous referee for constructive comments that helped improve some aspects of the original manuscript. We are also grateful to the DiskMass survey team for sharing their data with us for the spectral resolution tests, and to Marc Verheijen and Kyle Westfall in particular for in-depth discussions on the topic. This study makes use of the data provided by the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey (http://califa.caha.es). Based on observations collected at the Centro Astronómico Hispano Alemán (CAHA) at Calar Alto, operated jointly by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC). CALIFA is the first legacy survey being performed at Calar Alto. The CALIFA collaboration would like to thank the IAA-CSIC and MPIA-MPG as major partners of the observatory, and CAHA itself, for the unique access to telescope time and support in manpower and infrastructures. The CALIFA collaboration thanks also the CAHA staff for the dedication to this project. We present the stellar kinematic maps of a large sample of galaxies from the integral-field spectroscopic survey CALIFA. The sample comprises 300 galaxies displaying a wide range of morphologies across the Hubble sequence, from ellipticals to late-type spirals. This dataset allows us to homogeneously extract stellar kinematics up to several effective radii. In this paper, we describe the level of completeness of this subset of galaxies with respect to the full CALIFA sample, as well as the virtues and limitations of the kinematic extraction compared to other well-known integral-field surveys. In addition, we provide averaged integrated velocity dispersion radial profiles for different galaxy types, which are particularly useful to apply aperture corrections for single aperture measurements or poorly resolved stellar kinematics of high-redshift sources. The work presented in this paper sets the basis for the study of more general properties of galaxies that will be explored in subsequent papers of the survey. 2020-06-18T11:54:30Z 2020-06-18T11:54:30Z 2017 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Falcón-Barroso, J., Lyubenova, M., Van De Ven, G., Mendez-Abreu, J., Aguerri, J.
