On using spectral population models to study the chemical pattern of galaxies



Paula COELHO

IAP



Résumé : The chemical pattern of a galaxy is a keystone to understand its origin and evolution. Recent years have seen a fast development of stellar population models that provide the ways to extract this information from integrated spectra. The field, and the models, are still maturing though. In this talk I will present an overview of the current status on the field, from the perspective of a stellar population modeller. I will highlight recent achievements, and the aspects that need further improvement.
