Beyond the Lick Indices: The High-Resolution Spectral Synthesis of Stellar Populations

Part of the ESO Astrophysics Symposia book series (ESO)

Abstract

Up-to-date theoretical SED of stellar populations at 2 Å FWHM resolution is obtained by coupling a new library of synthetic spectra from the ATLAS and NextGen atmosphere database with the Buzzoni population synthesis code. We briefly outline the current status of the project, aimed at settling a new theoretical framework of narrow-band spectrophotometric indices to study stellar populations of galaxies.
