Full Spectral Fitting Code FIREFLY
Gives an array of fits, each as a combination of single-burst modes (SSPs), to get SFH, metallicity, age distribution, etc.
Fast computation of likelihood surfaces of properties Ability to change and compare input stellar population model ingredients Reconstructs SFHs from combinations of bursts

Z-gradient steepens with galaxy mass
Goddard et al 2017a,b
Negative metallicity gradient steepens with increasing galaxy mass This trend is stronger in late-type galaxies Dip seen at intermediate galaxy masses likely caused by transition from late to early type
