Poster Title: Mass-to-light determination through population synthesis models
Abstract: Population synthesis models provide an interesting tool to calculate stellar M/L ratios from broad band photometry. They can give us a way of comparing the stellar M/L ratio to the dynamical or 'total' M/L ratio. The overall goal of this work is to constrain the stellar M/L ratio values making use of population synthesis models and test whether the mass distribution obtained in this way, together with hydrodynamical simulations of the gas dynamics, can reproduce the observed position-velocity diagrams of a sample of 5 barred galaxies. The final results of this project will be presented in this poster.
