Scientific paper

It is shown on the basis of observational results with the 6-m telescope that strong Balmer absorption lines are present in the spectra of the nuclei of 50 percent of the early-type disk galaxies (from SO to Sb). The method of evolutionary modeling of integrated spectra is used to show that a significant number of stars younger than 5 billion yr are present in these nuclei. Nucleus metallicity is determined for 21 disk galaxies with old stellar populations in the nuclei.
