... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

We present a catalogue of galaxies for which spatially resolved data on their internal kinematics have been published; there is no apriori restriction regarding their morphological type. The catalogue lists the references to the articles where the data are published, as well as a coded description of these data: observed emission (E) or absorption (A) data, optical (O) or radio (R) data, velocity (V) or velocity dispersion (D), radial profile (1) or 2D field (2). ...
