Stellar population synthesis diagnostics
A quantitative method is presented to compare observed and synthetic colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). The method is based on a χ merit function for a point (ci,mi) in the observed CMD, which has a corresponding point in the simulated CMD within nσ(ci,mi) of the error ellipse. The χ merit function is then combined with the Poisson merit function of the points for which no corresponding point wa...
متن کاملStellar Population Diagnostics of Elliptical Galaxy Formation
Major progress has been achieved in recent years in mapping the properties of passively-evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift ∼ 2. Here, age and metallicity estimates for local cluster and field ETGs are reviewed as based on color-magnitude, color-σ, and fundamental plane relations, as well as on spectral-line indices diagnostics. The results of app...
متن کاملHow binary interactions affect stellar population synthesis
The single star-stellar population (ss-SSP) models are usually used for stellar population studies. However, there are more than 50% stars that are in binaries and evolve differently from single stars. This suggests when we model the stellar populations of galaxies and star clusters, the effects of binary interactions should be considered. Although a few works tried to model stellar populations...
متن کامل0 Stellar features in integrated starburst spectra as stellar population diagnostics ⋆
We review the main stellar features observed in starburst spectra from the UV to the near-IR and their use as fundamental tools to determine the properties of stellar populations from integrated spectra. The origin and dependence of the features on stellar properties are discussed, and we summarise existing modeling techniques used for quantitative analysis. Recent results from studies based on...
متن کاملSTELLAR POPULATION SYNTHESIS Baade’s Window: OGLE vs DeNIS
Monte-Carlo simulations of optical and near-infrared colourmagnitude diagrams (CMDs) in Baade’s Window (l=1. ◦0, b=−3. ◦9) are compared with each other. The morphological structure of the red horizontal branch in those CMDs is likely due to a combination of extinction and age-metallicity of the stars from the bulge/bar. In contrast with the optical (V,I) passbands, the simulations indicate that...
