Carbon and Nitrogen Abundances in Early-type Galaxies
Elisa Toloba, Patricia Sanchez-Blazquez, Javier Gorgas +1
For the first time, we undertake a systematic examination of the nitrogen abundances for a sample of 35 early-type galaxies spanning a range of masses and local environment. The ni…
Radial kinematics of brightest cluster galaxies
S. I. Loubser, A. E. Sansom, P. Sanchez-Blazquez +2
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to the investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their kinematic and stellar population properties, and…
Spatially resolved spectroscopy of early-type galaxies over a range in mass
P. Sanchez-Blazquez, D. A. Forbes, J. Strader +2
Long-slit spectra have been obtained with the Keck telescope for a sample of 11 early-type galaxies covering a wide range in luminosity and hence mass. Rotation velocity and veloci…
New light on the formation and evolution of bars: Trends in the stellar line-strength indices distribution inside the bar region
I. Perez, P. Sanchez-Blazquez, A. Zurita
Aim: The aim is to study the stellar content of the bar region to constrain its formation and evolution. Methods: Line-strength indices in the bar region of a sample of 6 barred ga…
Chemical Evolution of the Galactic Bulge
Brad K. Gibson, Angela J. MacDonald, Patricia Sanchez-Blazquez +1
Adopting a single-zone framework, with accretion of primordial gas on a free-fall timescale, the chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge is calculated, assuming (i) a correspondin…
Medium-resolution Isaac Newton Telescope library of empirical spectra - II. The stellar atmospheric parameters
A. J. Cenarro, R. F. Peletier, P. Sanchez-Blazquez +7
We present a homogeneous set of stellar atmospheric parameters Teff, log g, [Fe/H] for MILES, a new spectral stellar library covering the range 3525 - 7500 angstrom at 2.3 angstrom…
