Stellar Population analysis from Broad-Band Colours
arXiv:astro-ph/0011087 · doi:10.1002/1521-3994(200012)321:5/6<307::AID-ASNA307>3.0.CO;2-4
Abstract
We have developed an analytical method to investigate the stellar populations in a galaxy using the broad-band colours. The method enables us to determine the relative contribution, spatial distribution and age for different stellar populations and gives a hint about the dust distribution in a galaxy. We apply this method to the irregular galaxy NGC 3077, using CCD images in U, B, V and R filters.
