Abstract
We present dynamical modeling of nearby E4 galaxy NGC 2974. The galaxy was observed with the integral-field spectrograph SAURON. An axisymmetric stellar dynamical model is constructed using a three-integral orbit superposition Schwarschild modeling technique. We explore the dynamical structure and investigate the distribution and dynamics of the gas.
