The galaxy shows a slowly declining velocity dispersion profile, with low rotation, small h_3_ and slightly positive h_4_ values. The systematic differences with the velocity dispersion profiles of Franx et al. (1989) and Bertin et al. (1994, Fig. 7) might be partly due to the 1 arcsec slit used here. The SB-profile is a composite of data from Bender (unpublished) and from Lauberts & Valentijn (1989). The outermost data point was not used since it might be affected by sky-subtraction errors. Because the kinematic data reach further in towards the center than the photometry, we extrapolated using a power-law. The fitted central slope of the SB-profile is -0.15. E0 CD-1098-Br Aug 18/19, 1979 103aO + GG385 45 min NGC 7507 is a prototype example of a pure E0 galaxy. Globular clusters exist in the envelope. A nucleated dwarf dE5,N companion exists at a separation of 4.5' nearly due west. The projected linear separation would be 42 kpc assuming a redshift distance of 32 Mpc (v_o = 1600 km/s; H = 50). This very round galaxy exhibits an extended region of dust absorption on the southwest side of the nucleus, thereby confirming the findings of Sparks et al. (1985). We do not find significant evidence for the presence of ionized gas. Residual images reveal extended asymmetric region of dust absorption on the SW side of the nucleus (cf. also Sparks et al 1985), causing the Fourier terms in the radius range 10" - 25" (which are indeed most significant in the B passband). Otherwise no significant isophotal deviations from ellipses. Plate 684 Low surface brightness companion 4.6 preceding and 3.4 north.
