Abstract
We analyze long slit spectroscopy of NGC 1052, the third brightest member of a group of eleven galaxies. This elliptical is a typical LINER with a stellar rotating disk. We have found a strong negative radial gradient of the abundance ratio Mg/Fe, which suggests an enhancement of α-elements particulary towards the nuclear region, and higher metallicity and age at the galactic nucleus too. We have measured the Lick line-strength indices along the major axis of the galaxy. This information, together with single-aged stellar population models of Thomas et al. (2003), was used to determine the star formation history of NGC 1052.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
