Abstract:Massive Early-Type Galaxies (ETG) in the local Universe are believed to be the most mature stage of galaxy evolution. Their stellar population content reveals the evolutionary history of these galaxies. However, while state-of-the-art Stellar Population Synthesis (SPS) models provide an accurate description of observed galaxy spectra in the optical range, the modelling in the Near-Infrared (NIR) is still in its infancy. Here we focus on NIR CO absorption features to show, in a systematic and comprehensive mann… Show more
