Abstract:
    In Paper I of this series we introduced a volume-limited parent sample
    of 871 galaxies from which we extracted the ATLAS3D sample of 260
    early-type galaxies (ETGs). In Papers II and III we classified the
    ETGs using their stellar kinematics, in a way that is nearly
    insensitive to the projection effects, and we separated them into fast
    and slow rotators. Here we look at galaxy morphology and note that the
    edge-on fast rotators generally are lenticular galaxies.

   1- 10  A10   ---        Gal      Galaxy name
  12- 16  F5.2  [Mpc-3]   logRho10  Mean density of galaxies inside a sphere
                                    centred on the galaxy and containing the
                                    10 nearest neighbours (1)
  18- 22  F5.2  [Mpc-2]   logSig10  Mean surface density of galaxies inside a
                                    cylinder of height h=600km/s (i.e.
                                    δVhel<300km/s) centred on the galaxy
                                    which contains the 10 nearest neighbours (2)
  24- 28  F5.2  [Mpc-2]    logSig3  Mean density of galaxies inside a sphere
                                    centred on the galaxy and containing the
                                    3 nearest neighbours
  30- 34  F5.2 [Lsun/Mpc3] logNu10  Mean K-band luminosity density of galaxies
                                    inside the sphere defined in logRho10 (3)
  36- 40  F5.2 [Lsun/Mpc2] logI10   Mean K-band luminosity surface density of
                                    galaxies inside the cylinder defined
                                    in logSig10
  42- 46  F5.2 [Lsun/Mpc2] logI3    Mean K-band luminosity surface density of
                                    galaxies inside the cylinder defined
                                    in logSig3

Note (1): All density estimators only include galaxies brighter than
     MK←21.5mag.
Note (2): For galaxies in Virgo the cylinder includes all the cluster
     galaxies along the line of sight.
Note (3): The galaxy luminosity is defined as LK=10^-0.4(MK-MK☉),
     where the solar absolute luminosity MK☉=3.29mag 
     (Blanton & Roweis, 2007AJ....133..734B).
