Dissipational formation theories (e.g. Larson 1974) predict a metallicity change with distance from the center in elliptical galaxies. Several authors have reported small color gradients in visual colors like B–V and B–R. The interpretation of these data is not easy, due to uncertainties caused by the short wavelength–baseline, and by the presence of a hot stellar population suggested by IUE–data (e.g. Burstein et al. 1986). Simultaneous measurements of visual and visual-infrared colors provide the means to determine both the average temperature of the giant branch and the turnoff–temperature of the main sequence. This allows to model fractional contributions of different populations, including age– and metallicity–effects. The required continuity of solutions at different radii provides a strong constraint in selecting a more unique overall population model, and relieves the ambiguous interpretation of single measurements.

AbstractWe use the full spectrum fitting ability of ULySS, with the Pegase.HR stellar population model to fit the observed spectra of 40 brightest cluster galaxies in order to determine whether a single or a composite stellar population provided the most probable representation of the star formation history (SFH). We find that some galaxies in the sample have more complex SFHs.

Current observational results for the abundances of the very heavy elements (Z>30) in Population II halo stars are reviewed. New high resolution, low noise spectra of many of these extremely metal-poor stars reveal general consistency in their overall abundance patterns. Below Galactic metallicities of [Fe/H] Ã −2, all of the very heavy elements were manufactured almost exclusively in r-process synthesis events. However, there is considerable star-to-star scatter in the overall level of very heavy element abundances, indicating the influence of local supernovas on element production in the very early, unmixed Galactic halo. The s-process appears to contribute substantially to stellar abundances only in stars more metal-rich than [Fe/H] Ã −2.
