Abstract: | The analysis of deep imaging data of bright elliptical galaxies is capable of providing fundamental information on the stellar content and the distance of the target, via the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method (SBF hereafter). Here, I present the study of the properties of two ellipticals in the Virgo cluster, NGC 4621 and NGC 4374, based on deep BVR imaging data obtained with the FORS2 camera at the VLT. |
