Spectral Libraries for Analyzing Spectra of Low-Metalicity Galaxies

Abstract

We present a set of isochrone-tailored spectral libraries for analyzing composite spectra of low-metallicity massive star clusters or starburst galaxies. Specifically, we have computed non-LTE spectra for stars of all initial masses for isochrones at metallicities, Z=0.006, 0.002,and 0.0004, with and without considering rotation. These isochrones were constructed by the Geneva group (Ekström et al., 2011; Georgy et al., 2013; Groh et al., 2019; Eggenberger et al. 2020). We also present a Python program for integrating individual spectra for an arbitrary initial mass function.
