We present a grid of 440 spectro-photometric models for simulating spiral and irregular galaxies. They have been consistently calculated with evolutionary synthesis models which use as input the information proceeding from chemical…
I review the basic concepts for the spectrophotometric and chemical evolution of galaxies, contrast various approaches and discuss their respective advantages and shortcomings, both for the interpretation of nearby and high redshift…
To account for the range of stellar metallicities in local galaxies and for the increasing importance of low metallicities at higher redshift we present chemically consistent models for the spectral and chemical evolution of galaxies over…
We present our chemically consistent GALEV Evolutionary Synthesis models for galaxies and point out differences to previous generations of models and their effects on the interpretation of local and high-redshift galaxy data.
We summarize the principles and fundamental ingredients of evolutionary synthesis models, which are stellar evolution, stellar atmospheres, the IMF, star-formation histories, nebular emission, and also attenuation from the ISM and IGM. The…
Spectral evolution models are a widely used tool for determining the stellar content of galaxies. I provide a review of the latest developments in stellar atmosphere and evolution models, with an emphasis on massive stars. In contrast to…
The evolution of irregular galaxies is examined from two points of view: on the one hand, models of galactic chemical evolution have been computed and their predictions compared with the corresponding observational data on the element…
Evolutionary synthesis models have been used to study the physical properties of unresolved populations in a wide range of scenarios. Unfortunately, their self-consistency are difficult to test and there are some theoretical open questions…
Evolutionary synthesis models (ESM) have been extensively used to obtain the star formation history in galaxies by means of SED fitting. Implicit in this use of ESM is that (a) for given evolutionary parameters, the shape of the SED is…

We present a self-consistent model under a star-bursting scenario for H{\sc ii} galaxies, combining different codes of chemical evolution, evolutionary population synthesis and photoionization. The results obtained reproduce simultaneoulsy…
Models of population synthesis for the Galaxy have been developed in order to understand galactic structure and evolution. They allow to test scenarii of evolution by comparisons between model predictions and observed distributions.…
Any stellar system with a star formation history (SFH) more extended than a massive star's lifetime will be composite in metallicity. Our method of chemically consistent evolutionary synthesis tries to account for the increasing initial…
It is now possible to measure detailed spectral indices for stellar populations in spiral disks. We propose to interpret these data using evolutionary synthesis models computed from the Star Formation Histories obtained from chemical…
We show that the multiphase chemical evolution model reproduces the correlations obtained along the spiral sequence, dwarf galaxies included. However the apparent spatial chemical uniformity observed in some irregular galaxies cannot be…
The star formation and the subsequent metallic enrichment of spiral galaxies, occurring at the early phases of their evolution, produce emission lines whose contribution may change the colors of these objects. We have computed this…
In this contribution we investigate how to describe the results and usage of evolutionary synthesis models. In particular, we look for an explicit and quantitative description of the parameter space of synthesis models and the evaluation of…
