Modeling stellar populations in cluster galaxies
Abstract
Description
In this review I highlight the role played by spectrophotometric models in the study of galaxy evolution in distant clusters. I summarize the main achievements of the modeling of k+a spectra, the derivation of the star formation rate in emission line galaxies and the stellar ages of red cluster galaxies. The current knowledge of the dependence of the star formation histories on the galaxy morphology and luminosity is also presented.
