Spectroscopic Dating of Stellar Populations from Local Star Clusters to Distant Galaxies and the Age of the Universe
Gustavo Bruzual A
Abstract
I summarize in terms of evolutionary population synthesis models our current understanding of stellar populations in different environments, from star clusters in nearby galaxies to distant galaxies in clusters or seen through gravitational lenses. Constraints on the age of the stellar populations in clusters and galaxies derived from comparing predicted and observed spectral energy distributions are examined and contrasted with the maximum ages allowed by cosmological models at the corresponding redshift.
