Libraries of synthetic stellar spectra – or are we building palaces upon sand?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2006
Abstract
The possibilities and problems of using calculated spectra from model atmospheres when analysing stellar populations in galaxies are reviewed. Various types of consistency tests for stellar models are discussed, as well as comparisons with observational data. It is argued that major improvements in the model spectra are possible and worthwhile.
