Are ``U-shape'' age profiles a universal feature in spiral galaxies?
Abstract
In this work we study the effect of satellite accretion on the building-up of the radial stellar age distribution in the discs of spiral galaxies. In addition, we analyse its effect on other chemical and dynamical properties of these systems up to their outskirts.
