ATLAS3D is an astronomical survey that considers every galaxy in the deep sky within the local (42 Mpc) volume (1.16×105 Mpc3) and uses multi-wavelength filters of a sample of 260 early-type galaxies. The survey produces cosmological simulations and semi-analytic modeling of galaxy formation. The first goal of this project is to quantify the global stellar kinematics and dynamics of a statistically significant sample of objects. This will enable the cataloging and characterization of early-type galaxies, as well as informing models of their formation and evolution.
