Integrated spectroscopy of extragalactic Globular Clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 March 2020
Abstract
Integrated light (IL) spectroscopy enables studies of stellar populations beyond the Milky Way and its nearest satellites. In this paper, I will review how IL spectroscopy reveals essential information about globular clusters and the assembly histories of their host galaxies, concentrating particularly on the metallicities and detailed chemical abundances of the GCs in M31. I will also briefly mention the effects of multiple populations on IL spectra, and how observations of distant globular clusters help constrain the source(s) of light-element abundance variations. I will end with future perspectives, emphasizing how IL spectroscopy can bridge the gap between Galactic and extragalactic astronomy.
