In Scientific Drivers for ESO Future VLT/VLTI Instrumentation: Proceedings of the ESO Workshop Held in Garching, Germany, 11-15 June 2001 (99-107). https://doi.org/10.1007/10857019_16

We describe an instrument concept that will provide simultaneous spectra for a million spatial samples on the sky. With the proposed field of view and spectral resolution, it will be able to measure redshifts and line strengths for around 2-4000 z∼∼3...

Minniti (Eds.), Extragalactic star clusters: proceedings of the 207th Symposium of the IAU held in Pucón, Chile, 12-16 March 2001

We have derived ages and metallicities from co-added spectra of 131 globular clusters (GCs) associated with the giant Virgo elliptical NGC 4472. From their metal-line indices, we find that our sample of GCs span a metallicity range of approximately -... Read More about Ages and Metallicities of Globular Clusters in NGC 4472..
