Descripción
We present the single stellar population (SSP) synthesis results of our
new synthetic stellar atmosphere models library with a spectral sampling
of 0.3 Å, covering the wavelength range from 3000 to 7000
Åfor a wide range of metallicities (twice solar, solar, half solar
and 1/10 solar). The stellar library is composed of 1650 spectra
computed with the latest improvements in stellar atmospheres. In
particular, it incorporates non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE)
line-blanketed models for hot (Teff>= 27500 K), and LTE
line-blanketed models (Phoenix) for cool (3000 <=Teff<=
4500 K) stars. Because of the high spectral resolution of this library,
evolutionary synthesis models can be used to predict the strength of
numerous weak absorption lines and the evolution of the profiles of the
strongest lines over a wide range of ages. The SSP results have been
calculated for ages from 1 Myr to 17 Gyr using the stellar evolutionary
tracks provided by the Geneva and Padova groups. For young stellar
populations, our results have a very detailed coverage of
high-temperature stars with similar results for the Padova and Geneva
isochrones. For intermediate and old stellar populations, our results,
once degraded to a lower resolution, are similar to the ones obtained by
other groups (limitations imposed by the stellar evolutionary physics
notwidthstanding). The limitations and advantages of our models for the
analysis of integrated populations are described. The full set of the
stellar library and the evolutionary models are available for retrieval
at the websites http://www.iaa.csic.es/~rosa and

authors.
