Notes. The table lists mean stellar ages and metallicities (luminosity and mass-weighted), two different set of templates, with [α/Fe] = 0 or 0.4, and three different extractions for each galaxy: the entire radial range of the spectrum, up to 1 arcsec from the centre (nuclear component), and the regions at both sides of it (inner component). The errors are based on 100 Monte-Carlos realisations.
