they are located in the middle of the galaxy
The oldest stars in a galaxy are usually located towards the centre. Also known as the bulge.
Elliptical Galaxy The Elliptical Galaxy has mostly old stars and blue stars are new stars.
Elliptical galaxies mostly consist of a collection of older red stars in the center, with blue and white stars located in the outer regions. This is because elliptical galaxies have a smooth, featureless appearance and are dominated by older stellar populations in their central regions.
The concentration of stars is typically more centrally located in elliptical galaxies compared to spiral galaxies. Elliptical galaxies have a more concentrated spheroidal shape with stars distributed densely in the center, while spiral galaxies have a more spread-out disk structure with stars distributed along spiral arms.
The center of the elliptical galaxy is very dense with many stars, and density decreases farther out.
An elliptical galaxy is a type of galaxy not a particular one.
Every galaxy is made up of millions of stars. An elliptical galaxy consists of predominately old stars,. See related question.
The oldest stars are classified as population III stars [See related question]

Older stars
A globular cluster. These dense spherical collections of stars are typically found around the outskirts of galaxies and are among the oldest known star groupings in the universe. Their red color is due to the abundance of older, cooler stars within the cluster.
Elliptical galaxies have a red color because the stars in them are older and cooler. An example of an elliptical galaxy is Maffei 1.
