Deriving star formation histories from integrated light: Colors and indices
Thomas Lilly, Uta Fritze-v. Alvensleben
We present results of a detailed study aiming at understanding to what precision star formation histories (SFHs) can be determined for distant galaxies observable in integrated lig…
The SFH of the LMC: The CMD approach vs. integrated colors and spectra
Thomas Lilly, Uta Fritze-v. Alvensleben
We present results of a study aiming at shedding light on the specific advantages and limitations of methods to derive star formation histories (SFH) in galaxies using resolved ste…
Nearby star cluster formation: Probes of cosmological galaxy evolution
P. Anders, R. de Grijs, U. Fritze-v. Alvensleben
(abridged) The old Star Cluster (SC) systems surrounding any sofar investigated galaxy represent a powerful tool for the understanding of the cosmological evolution of their host g…
Properties of Young Massive Cluster Derived from Photometry
U. Fritze-v. Alvensleben
I will show that photometry -- if extending over a reasonable choice of passbands -- can give fairly precise information about young star clusters and their evolutionary state. Opt…
Star Formation in Galaxy Mergers: Scaling up a universal process or a violent mode of SF?
U. Fritze-v. Alvensleben
I briefly review some measures of star formation rates in galaxies and discuss their respective uncertainties before outlining the range of star formation rates encountered in star…
Stellar Populations of a Sample of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
Peter M. Weilbacher, Uta Fritze-v. Alvensleben, Pierre-Alain Duc
We investigate the stellar populations of a sample of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, combining observations and evolutionary synthesis models to try and reveal their formation mechanism. On…
