Descripción
We discuss the relations between the metallicity gradients and the other characteristics of a set of dwarf elliptical galaxies in different environments. We suggest that dEs have typically metallicity gradients of -0.30 ± 0.25 dex/re, unrelated to their mass. Dwarf elliptical galaxies with embedded disks, or dS0, may have flat metallicity gradients.
