Probing halos with PNe: mass and angular momentum in early-type galaxies

I will present detailed modelling results for NGC 3379, an ordinary
elliptical galaxy whose PN kinematics indicate little dark matter in their
outskirts. I will examine the implications of the apparent scanty dark
halos seen in several galaxies, and also review the amount of rotation
seen in the outer parts of elliptical galaxies. I will further discuss
complementary probes of halos, including globular clusters and x-ray
emission.
