Light-weighted age distribution (with 7800−8800 Å flux level contour) derived from the PPXF fit suggests that the central starburst region is surrounded by a relatively old stellar population with an age of ≳ a few Gyrs. The fitting is based on KCWI BL data covering rest frame 3650−5400 Å. Objects 3 and 1 have similarly old stellar populations, while object 2 assembled most of its mass in a recent starburst.
