Abstract
The main goal of the PhD research described is to gain insight in the
dynamical structure and evolution of galaxies, globular clusters and
other stellar systems. For nearby stellar systems, realistic
axisymmetric and triaxial dynamical models are constructed that fit
their photometric and (two-dimensional) spectroscopic observations in
detail. For early-type galaxies at higher redshift, the Fundamental
Plane is used to investigate the evolution of their mass-to-light
ratios. The connection of the results from both approaches allows a
better understanding of the formation history of these stellar systems.
