Age and metallicity estimations in old stellar populations from Strömgren photometry

We present a new technique to determine age and metallicity of old stellar populations (globular clusters and elliptical galaxies) using an iterative principal component analysis on narrow band (Strömgren) colors. Our technique is capable of reproducing globular cluster [Fe/H] values to 0.02 dex and CMD ages to 1.0 Gyrs. We also present preliminary results on the application of our technique to a sample of high mass, field ellipticals and low mass, cluster dwarf ellipticals. We confirm the results of earlier studies which find that globular clusters increase in metallicity with age and that age and metallicity increase with galaxy mass. However, we find that dwarf ellipticals deviate from the elliptical sequence by having little to no correlation between age and metallicity.
