Stellar Population Synthesis
Stellar population synthesis is a technique for modeling the integrated light from a galaxy by summing the contributions of all individual stars formed at different times and with different masses and metallicities. Developed systematically by Bruzual and Charlot (2003), this approach enables estimation of fundamental galaxy properties from observations without detailed knowledge of individual stars.
