Abstract
We present a full-spectrum-fitting analysis of the central kinematics and chemistry of the Andromeda dwarf satellite galaxies M32 and M110. We use an Markov Chain Monte Carlo routine to fit high-resolution, near-infrared, integrated-light spectra from APOGEE with empirical simple stellar population templates constructed from individual APOGEE stellar spectra. This yields the best-fitting mean radial velocity, velocity dispersion, metallicity, α abundance, and age for each spectrum. In general, our results are consistent with literature values where available, and we explore possible reasons where offsets are measured. This study was presented in a poster at the 243rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in 2024 January.
