We model the extended stellar kinematics of 14 moderately bright,
flattened early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster, using an axisymmetric,
orbit superposition (Schwarzschild) code and a gravitational potential
with a parametrized dark matter component. The sample confirms previous
findings from spherical modeling that dark matter halos around early-type
galaxies have on average times higher central densities than halos around
spiral galaxies of the same luminosity. This implies a formation redshift
. As a byproduct, the analysis delivers the dynamical estimate of the
mass-to-light ratio of the stellar component of the galaxies. The
comparison with the values derived by modeling the stellar populations is
always consistent with a shallow stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) and
sometimes rules out a steep (Salpeter) IMF. Finally, the derived
distribution of stellar orbits suggests that early-type galaxies are
flattened by anisotropy.
