Descripción
We demonstrate in this work that it is possible to derive spectra of integrated absorption lines for any type stellar system using the GTC/OSIRIS Tunable Filters and a novel observing technique which allows for a reconstruction of the line profiles. The method has been successfully proven for the globular cluster system of VCC1261, a dwarf elliptical in the Virgo Cluster.
