BC03lr - Bruzual & Charlot 2003 Low-Resolution Spectral Templates for Stellar Populations

Description

A dataset containing the grid of spectral templates for a stellar population with a given stellar age and metallicity. At each age/metallicity bin, a template spectrum is given in units of solar luminoisities per angstrom for 1 solar mass of star formation. Values are given at a series of wavelengths, contained within the dataset. Note that while the first age bin is a template for Age = 0 stars, we have re-labelled this bin with a non-zero small number to avoid log errors.

Usage

BC03lr

Format

A list with 4 elements:

Z

A numeric array that describes the 6 possible metallicity bins provided by the template spectra.

Age

A numeric array that describes the 221 possible age bins provided by the template spectra.

Wave

A numeric array that describes the 1221 wavelengths (in Angstrom) at which the spectrum is provided.

Zspec

A list containing the template spectrum for a galaxy. The first level of the list corresponds to the metallicity of the population. Each list element then contains a numeric matrix, with each row describing the spectrum that would be associated with a population of a given age.
