We use a large sample of galaxy groups with halo masses 10(12.5) < M-halo < 10(14.5) h(-1) M-circle dot observed with the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey to examine whether there is a correlation between local environment and rotational support that is independent of stellar mass. We find no compelling evidence for a relationship between the angular momentum content of early-type galaxies and either local overdensity or radial position within the group at fixed stellar mass. |
