Abstract
- We discuss the predicted performance of the HARMONI spectrograph and the ELT in the context of two specific science cases: resolved stellar populations of Local Volume galaxies and Galactic archaeology in dense environments. We have produced and analysed a set of simulated data-cubes using the HSIM software, mimicking observations across the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A and in the nuclear bulge of the Milky Way. We use our results to demonstrate the instruments capabilities to perform stellar absorption line spectroscopy in a large number of stars which will allow us to study the detailed kinematics and stellar population characteristics of these high density regions<br />Comment: Proc.
