Yonsei evolutionary population synthesis (YEPS). II. Spectro-photometric evolution of helium-enhanced stellar populations

Abstract

The discovery of multiple stellar populations in Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) has stimulated various follow-up studies on helium-enhanced stellar populations. Here we present the evolutionary population synthesis models for the spectro-photometric evolution of simple stellar populations (SSPs) with varying initial helium abundance ($Y_{\mathrm{ini}}$). We show that $Y_{\mathrm{ini}}$ brings about {dramatic} changes in spectro-photometric properties of SSPs. Like the normal-helium SSPs, the integrated spectro-photometric evolution of helium-enhanced SSPs is also dependent on metallicity and age for a given $Y_{\mathrm{ini}}$. {We discuss the implications and prospects for the helium-enhanced populations in relation to the second-generation populations found in the Milky Way GCs.} All of the models are available at \url{http://web.yonsei.ac.kr/cosmic/data/YEPS.htm}.
