Bruzal and Charlot 2003
The Bruzual and Charlot 2003 Models are galaxy template models for solar metallicity, tau=0.6 Gyr, age=1.015 Gyr and generated using a Chabrier IMF, exponentially decreasing star formation and no dust. Bruzual and Charlot 2003 use spectral evolution models of stellar populations at ages between 1 × 105 and 2 × 1010 yr at a resolution of 3 Å across the whole wavelength range from 3200 to 9500 Å for a wide range of metallicities. Their models incorporates thermally pulsing stars on the asymptotic giant branch.
