Stellar populations and their kinematics from high and medium resolution spectra: mixed inversions
P. Ocvirk, C. Pichon, A. Lancon
We present inversion techniques aiming at recovering the stellar content (age, metallicity, extinction) and kinematics of a stellar population from its absorption line spectrum. Th…
Can We Date Starbursts?
A. Lancon
Age dating starbursts is an exercise with many caveats. We attempt to summarise a discussion session that was lead along a rather optimistic guideline: the aim was to highlight tha…
Post-Starburst Populations Near and Far - The Potential of Near-IR Spectroscopy
A. Lancon, M. Mouhcine
The efficient use of near-IR data in studies of external stellar populations depends on our ability to recognize the nature of the predominant sources of light, and to interprete t…
Optical and near-infrared spectrophotometric properties of Long Period Variables and other luminous red stars
R. Alvarez, A. Lancon, B. Plez +1
Based on a new and large sample of optical and near-infrared spectra obtained at the Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories (Lancon & Wood 1998; Lancon & Wood, in preparatio…
A Stellar Library for Evolutionary Synthesis Modeling Including Variable AGB Stars
M. Mouhcine, A. Lancon
A self-consistent spectrophotometric modelling of intermediate age post-starburst requires accurate stellar ingredients taking into account a principal feature of the stars dominat…
The usage of the Asymptotic Giant Branch Star Features As Age Indicators in Post-Starburst Galaxies
M. Mouhcine, A. Lancon
We investigate techniques that can be used to determine ages of recently star forming regions during the phase dominated in the near-IR by the asymptotic giant branch stars (10^8-1…
