Stellar
Synthesis Population Models:
|
|
|
Obtain
spectra of all spectral types over wide range of
|
|
|
wavelengths
(use models to fill gaps).
|
|
|
Combine
spectra according to an initial mass function.
|
|
|
Age
the starburst by removing spectra of the most massive
|
|
|
stars
first, according to their lifetimes, etc.
|
|
|
Add
together combinations of starbursts (e.g., different
|
|
|
instantaneous
bursts, or according to some prescription like
|
|
constant
star formation or exponentially decaying star
|
|
|
formation.
