Stellar populations in the bulges of S0s and the formation of S0 galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2007
Abstract
The stellar populations in the bulges of S0s, together with the galaxies' dynamics, masses and globular clusters, contain very interesting clues about their formation. I present here recent evidence suggesting that S0s are the descendants of fading spirals whose star formation ceased.
