Stellar Population Synthesis

Stellar Population Synthesis is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that models the collective spectral energy distribution of a stellar population by combining the evolutionary tracks, spectral properties, and relative abundances of individual stars to infer intrinsic galactic properties such as age, metallicity, and star formation history.
