  1. Abstract We present a full-spectrum-fitting analysis of the central kinematics and chemistry of the Andromeda dwarf satellite galaxies M32 and M110. We use an Markov Chain Monte Carlo routine to fit high-resolution, near-infrared, integrated-light spectra from APOGEE with empirical simple stellar population templates constructed from individual APOGEE stellar spectra. This yields the best-fitting mean radial velocity, velocity dispersion, metallicity,αabundance, and age for each spectrum. In general, our results are consistent with literature values where available, and we explore possible reasons where offsets are measured. This study was presented in a poster at the 243rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in 2024 January.
