Replace this text \label{fig:alpha} Central $\alpha$-abundance $[\alpha$/Fe$]$ as a function of galaxy dynamical mass. The blue crosses represent the early-type galaxies from the ATLAS$^{3D}$ \citep{ATLAS3D} survey with your caption M87 shown as a blue-filled circle. The slow rotator BCGs are shown as green-filled squares. The fast rotator BCGs are shown as red-open squares. The dashed line shows the mass range (M$_{dyn}> 10^{11.3}$M$_{\odot}$) used in the comparison between the two samples. We find that the BCGs have similar $\alpha$-enhanced ratios (median [$\alpha$/Fe]~$=0.17\pm0.04$) to the early-type galaxies (median [$\alpha$/Fe]~$=0.24\pm0.03$).}
