Integrated light spectroscopy from galaxies can be used to study the stellar populations that cannot be resolved into individual stars. This analysis relies on stellar population synthesis (SPS) techniques to study the formation history and…

Using EPS we present high resolution (0.3 \AA, HRes) ISEDs from 3000 to 7000 \AA and Lick/IDS absorption-line indices, for an extensive set of instantaneous burst binary stellar populations (BSPs) with binary interactions. The ages of the…
