| dc.description.abstract | We 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 | en_US |
