If you have a question about this talk, please contact Nicola Giacobbo. PhD meet & greet at 15.30 Evolutionary population synthesis models describing the energetic emission and stellar mass distribution of galaxies and star clusters are the essential interpretative tool in astrophysics and cosmology. They are used to infer key properties of stellar systems (age, chemical composition, stellar mass, dark matter fraction) from data, to predict the spectral energy distribution of simulated galaxies, to trace galaxy ages as a function of cosmic time for constraining cosmology, to predict the number, mass and location of stellar remnants rooting gravitational waves. Given their widespread use, the accuracy of population synthesis models directly affects our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution in a cosmological context. I shall review recent progress and discuss a few key applications of these models over cosmic time. This talk is part of the Astrophysics Talks Series series.
