Distribution of the higher order LOSVD moments ( h3 and h4) as a function of the rotation velocity divided by the dispersion V/σ at r < 1 5. The top panels display the Gemini/NIFS kinematics of M32, while the bottom panels display data from gas-rich mergers at similar orientations by Hoffman et al. (2009). In the top panels, each spaxel in our Gemini/NIFS observations is plotted as a single data point (with a light gray error bar), while the simulation data have been analyzed in a similar way to mimic integral field data.
