11:00 - 13:00 Weekly Seminar Exploring Stellar Populations School ASTRONOMY Abstract Understanding the luminosity of unresolved stellar populations is recognized as a crucial aspect of galaxy evolution studies. This presentation will address how detailed information from resolved stellar populations is leveraged to infer the physical properties of unresolved populations through stellar population synthesis (SPS) models. A key focus will be placed on the role of the initial mass function (IMF) and the impact of dust in shaping the observed luminosity. By bridging theoretical frameworks with observational data, models can be refined to enhance the interpretation of the luminosity of distant, unresolved populatio ... |
