Modeling the Ages and Chemical Abundances of Elliptical Galaxies

Spectroscopic studies of elliptical galaxies show that their stellar population ages, mean metallicity, and α enhancement traced by [Mg/Fe] all increase with galaxy stellar mass or velocity dispersion. We use one-zone galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models with a flexible star formation history (S...
