Surface Brightness Fluctuations: a theoretical point of view
M. Cantiello, G. Raimondo, E. Brocato, M. Capaccioli
Abstract
We present new theoretical evaluations of optical and near-IR Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) magnitudes for single-burst stellar populations in the age range t=5-15 Gyr and metallicity from Z/200 to 2Z. Our theoretical predictions can be successfully used to derive reliable distance evaluations. They also appear to be a new and valuable tool to trace the properties of unresolved stellar populations.
