Radial constraints on the initial mass function from TiO features and Wing–Ford band in early-type galaxies

At present, the main challenge to the interpretation of variations in gravity-sensitive line strengths as driven by a non-universal initial mass function (IMF) lies in understanding the effect of the other population parameters. Most notably, [a/Fe]-enhanced populations or even departures in the ind...
