There is a growing body of evidence indicating young ages, 8 ± 3 Gyrs, for elliptical galaxies and significant age gradients with a younger population residing at the centre. The data appear to be consistent with a scenario where elliptical galaxies are assembled hierarchically with low luminosity galaxies forming first. Late star formation, associated with the last merging event and usually involving only a small fraction of the galaxy mass, could then account for the low age estimates of some luminous galaxies.
