8 May 2002 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Universitätssternwarte, Göttingen, Germany | | Abstract: | A new set of evolutionary synthesis spectra are presented for {f S}imple {f S}tellar {f P}opulations ({f SSP}s) covering ranges in metallicity from $ 0.02 leq Z/Z_{odot} leq 2.5$ and ages from $4cdot 10^6$ yr $leq t leq 16$ Gyr. They are based on the most recent isochrones from the Padova group that extend earlier models by the inclusion of the thermal pulsing AGB phase for stars in the mass range $2 M_{odot} leq m leq 7 M_{odot}$ in accordance with the fuel consumption theorem. We show that with respect to earlier models, inclusion of the TP-AGB phase leads to significant changes in the $(V-I)$ and $(V-K)$ colors of SSPs. Using model atmosphere spectra from Lejeune et al, we calculate the spectral evolution of single burst populations of various metallicities. Isochrone spectra are convolved with filter response functions to describe the time evolution of luminosities and colors in various filter systems. The models and their results are not only intended for use in the interpretation of star clusters but also for combination with any kind of dynamical galaxy formation and/or evolution model that contains a star formation criterion. We also present the time evolution of ejection rates for gas and metals for two different {f I}nitial {f M}ass {f F}unctions ({f IMF}s) as well as cosmological and evolutionary corrections for all the filters as a function of redshift and two different cosmologies. Extensive data files are provided in the electronic version, at CDS, and at our above www-address. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0205117 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
