Description
Photometry and long-slit spectroscopy are presented for 14 S0 and spiral
galaxies of the Fornax, Eridanus and Pegasus clusters and the NGC 7582
group. The age, metallicity and α/Fe enhancement of the stellar
population in the centres and their gradients are obtained using stellar
population models with variable element abundance ratios. Most of the
sample bulges display solar α/Fe enhancement, no gradient in age,
and a negative gradient of metallicity. One of the bulges, that of NGC
1292, is a pseudobulge and the properties of its stellar population are
consistent with a slow build-up within a scenario of secular evolution.
