Descripción
We present the results of a spectroscopic analysis of bright stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. We collected low-resolution FORS2@VLT spectra of ≈ 200 stars. Our spectroscopic targets have been selected among the evolved Carina stars, in particular we selected low-mass, old Red Giant, Asymptotic, and Horizontal Branch stars, as well as intermediate-age stars of the Red Clump. We present preliminary estimates concerning the radial velocities of old and intermediate-age populations.
