NBursts+phot: Parametric recovery of galaxy star formation histories from the simultaneous fitting of spectra and broad-band spectral energy distributions

Abstract

We present NBursts+phot, a novel technique for the parametric inversion of spectrophotometric data for unresolved stellar populations where high-resolution spectra and broadband SEDs are fitted simultaneously, helping to break the degeneracies between parameters of multi-component stellar population models. © 2012 International Astronomical Union.
