Abstract

AbstractWe have studied a small sample of star-forming outer rings in unbarred lenticular galaxies by means of long-slit spectroscopy. We have determined metallicities of the outer stellar disks and of the ionized gas in the rings. While the stellar disks of the S0s are metal-poor, [Z/H] < −0.4, the gas has strictly solar oxygen abundance in all the cases.
