We investigate the possibility that the Far-UV spectral energy distributions (SED's) of M31 and NGC 1399 differ only in the relative contribution from classical PAGB stars and in the amount of extinction. A good fit to the M31 spectrum is obtained for E(B-V) = 0.11 if about 65% of the flux comes from PAGB stars and the rest from stars of the type producing the far-UV emission in NGC1399. We speculate that the UV continuum in both galaxies is dominated by stars in post-horizontal branch phases of evolution, with a distribution of post-HB masses governed primarily by the metallicity and metallicity spread of the population. This hypothesis can qualitatively explain both the relative fluxes of UV rising branches in NGC1399 and M31 and the shapes of their SED's.

Abstract Binary stars are common in the universe, but binary fractions are various in different star clusters and galaxies. Studies have shown that binary fraction affects the integrated spectral energy distributions obviously, in particular in the UV band. It affects spectral fitting of many star clusters and galaxies significantly. However, previous works usually take a fixed binary fraction, i.e., 0.5, and this is far from getting accurate results. Therefore, it is important to model the integrated spectral energy distributions of stellar populations with various binary fractions. This work presents a modeling of spectral energy distributions of simple stellar populations with binary fractions of 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0. The results are useful for different kinds of spectral studies.

A grid of synthetic spectral energy distributions, representative of old stellar populations, has been used to derive colors in different photometric systems, and to compare the theoretical predictions with observational data for galactic globular clusters.

AbstractThe present work shows the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) in the infrared using the IRTF stellar library, obtained using models based on Single Stellar population Models (SSP). We have focused on the K band in order to compare with observables of elliptical galaxies. We also present the comparisons of our models with velocity dispersions, ages and metallicities obtained with models in the optical range.
