| Abstract: |
We report on our early-stage efforts to resolve the Surface Brightness
Fluctuations (SBFs) in the spectral dimension. Combining the diagnostic
power of SBFs with the physical information content of spectra seems a
tempting possibility to gain new insights into the bright stars in
unresolved stellar populations. The new VLT integral field spectrograph
MUSE is the first instrument that enables spectroscopic
SBFs observationally. |
