The chemical composition of Local Group dwarf spheroidals
Abstract
I will review the progress of VLT spectroscopy of large numbers of individual stars in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies. This spectroscopy has allowed us to obtain detailed insights into the chemical and dynamical properties of the resolved stellar population in these nearby systems.
