Poster Title: High-Resolution Synthetical Stellar Population Spectra
Abstract: We present an updated version of the stellar population synthesis code, Starburst99 (Leitherer et al. 1999), used to predict the spectrum of a single-metallicity stellar population, with a spectral resolution of 0.3 angstrons, in the spectral region between 3500 and 7000 angstrons. The input stellar library includes non-LTE absorption profiles for stars hotter than 25000K, generated with the code TLUSTY (Hubeny) and LTE profiles for lower temperatures, where Kurucz models were used. The temperature and gravity coverage is 5000 < Teff < 50000K and 0.0 < log g < 5.0, respectively. The metallicity is solar. We present a direct application of these models, showing how their high-resolution spectra can be very useful tools for subtraction of the stellar population of a galaxy, when one is interested in the emission line features.
