Abstract
We have combined the Starburst99 code with the Mappings IIIq nebular modelling code, and a self-consistent 1D dynamical evolution model for HII regions, to produce theoretical spectral energy distributions (SEDs) extending from the Lyman Limit up to beyond 1 mm. We show that two parameters control the form of the SED, the mean pressure in the ISM of the starburst, and the timescale required to dissipate the molecular clouds surrounding individual clusters.
