Spectroscopic decomposition of the galaxy and halo of the cD galaxy NGC 3311

Information on the star-formation histories of cD galaxies and their extended stellar haloes lie in their spectra. Therefore, to determine whether these structures evolved together or through a two-phase formation, we need to spectroscopically separate the light from each component. We present a pil...
