Résumé	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.	Asteroseismology is the study of stellar oscillations—tiny brightness and radial velocity variations caused by sound waves resonating inside stars. Proposed by Roger Ulrich in 1970 and established as a major field by the Kepler and TESS space telescopes, asteroseismology provides unprecedented precision in determining stellar masses, ages, and internal structure.	Radiative transfer is the mathematical treatment of how light propagates through matter, including absorption, emission, and scattering. Central to astrophysics and stellar atmosphere modeling, radiative transfer calculations translate physical conditions (density, temperature, composition) into observable spectra and colors, bridging theory and observation.
