| Description | The average spectral energy distribution for a sample of bright elliptical galaxies is presented in the range lambda lambda 2000 to 3200 A. Spectral synthesis indicates that elliptical galaxies are most likely older than 9 Gyrs. The ultraviolet flux is consistent with a population of red horizontal branch stars, as those present in metal rich globular clusters. Data for distant first ranked cluster galaxies show indications of spectral evolution. |
