Population Synthesis and the Diagnostics of High-redshift Galaxies

Astrophysics 2016-01-27 v1

Abstract

The effect of redshift on the observation of distant galaxies is briefly discussed emphasizing the possible sources of bias in the interpretation of high-z data. A general energetic criterion to assess physical self-consistency of evolutionary population synthesis models is also proposed, for a more appropriate use of this important tool to investigate distinctive properties of primeval galaxies.
