NBursts: Simultaneous Extraction of Internal Kinematics and Parametrized SFH from Integrated Light Spectra
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2006
Abstract
We present a novel approach for simultaneous extraction of stellar population parameters and internal kinematics from the spectra integrated along a line of sight. We fit a template spectrum into an observed one in a pixel space using a non-linear χ2 minimization in the multidimensional parameter space, including characteristics of the line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD) and parametrized star formation history (SFH). Our technique has been applied to IFU and multi-object spectroscopy of low-luminosity early type galaxies.
