Scientific paper

We propose to obtain images of 13 relatively luminous early type galaxies in the Coma cluster and Abell 262 for which we have already collected ground based major and minor axis spectra and images. The higher resolution HST images will enable us to study the central regions of these galaxies which is crucial to our dynamical modelling. The complete data set will allow us to perform a full dynamical analysis and to derive the dark matter content and distribution, the stellar orbital structure, and the stellar population properties of these objects, probing the predictions of galaxy formation models. The dynamical analysis will be performed using an up-to-date axi-symmetric orbit superposition code.
