The Evolved Red Stellar Content of M32
2000
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Near-infrared images obtained with the CFHT AOB are used to investigate the stellar content of the Local Group elliptical galaxy M32. Observations of a field 2.3 arcmin from the galaxy center reveal a large population of AGB stars, and comparisons with models indicate that these objects have an age log(t_Gyr) < 9.3. It is concluded that intermediate age stars account for roughly 25% of the total K light and 10% +/- 5% of the mass in this field. The K LF of bright sources between 20 and 30
