| dc.description | We investigate techniques that can be used to determine ages of recently star forming regions during the phase dominated in the near-IR by the asymptotic giant branch stars (10^8-10^9 yrs). In particular, we present selected near-IR spectroscopic features that identify the contribution of O-rich and C-rich AGB variable stars to the integrated spectra of post-starbursts. The observational strategy based on those features is presented. We discuss the robustness of our selected features in constraining the ages of the post-starburst population depending on its physical environment and on underlying evolved populations. The interplay between the integrated features of populations and the stellar parameters is discussed. | |
