Abstract:
We have obtained near-infrared spectra covering the CaII triplet
lines for a large number of stars associated with 16 Small Magellanic
Cloud (SMC) clusters using the VLT + FORS2. These data compose the
largest available sample of SMC clusters with spectroscopically
derived abundances and velocities. Our clusters span a wide range of
ages and provide good areal coverage of the galaxy.
Description:
V- and I-band pre-images of our target fields were taken by ESO
Paranal staff in 2005 August as part of Program 076.B-0533.
The spectra of the program stars were obtained during 2005 November in
service mode by the VLT staff, using the FORS2 spectrograph in mask
exchange unit (MXU) mode.
