Abstract

We show observations obtained with the integral field spectrometer OASIS for the centers of a sample of barred galaxies. The high spatial resolution of the instrument allows to distinguish spatially some structures within these regions as defined by stellar populations of different ages and metallicities. From these data we deduce important clues about the star formation history. But we advise that, in order to obtain adequately the evolutionary sequence, a combination of chemical and synthesis models might be necessary.
