Poster Title: High-resolution spectral synthesis: a 2 \AA mapping of the UV emission of stellar populations

Abstract: We explore, from the theoretical point of view, the spectral properties of SSPs in the ultraviolet wavelength range. Our models rely on a new stellar library of high-resolution synthetic spectra (based upon ATLAS9 and SYNTHE codes developed by R. L. Kurucz), coupled with Buzzoni's population synthesis code to track evolution of the main UV features below 4000 \AA in the integrated SED of SSPs. Our special aim is to single out those absorption features that better track Turn Off stars (and therefrom age) in a stellar aggregate.
