The impact of chemical evolution on the observable properties of stellar populations
arXiv:astro-ph/0008336 · doi:10.1023/A:1012794920103
Abstract
The major effects of the chemical evolution of galaxies on the characteristics of their stellar populations are reviewed. A few examples of how the observed stellar properties derived from colour--magnitude diagrams can constrain chemical evolution models are given.
