Replace this text with your caption Metallicity (upper panel) and age (lower panel) gradients as a function of dynamical galaxy mass. The SR BCGs are shown as green-solid squares. The FR BCGs are shown as red-open squares. The blue dots represent the galaxies in the SAURON sample. The blue-filled circle is the BCG M87 from the SAURON sample. The dotted line indicates a flat gradient. The dashed line shows the mass range (M$_{dyn}> 10^{11.3}$M$_{\odot}$) used in the comparison between the two samples. The BCGs ($\Delta$[Fe/H]~$=-0.11\pm0.1$) and the most massive early-type galaxies ($\Delta$[Fe/H]~$=-0.19\pm0.1$) have similar stellar population gradients.  \label{fig:grad_mass}
