Critical Steps in Population Synthesis Alessandro Bressan MAGPOP Summer School - Budapest, Hungary, 2006. August 23-25
What is Pop. Synth. An ensemble of tools used to predict propertiesof stellar systems • resolved systems • C-M diagrams • unresolved systems • Magnitudes (colours) • Spectra • Narrow band indices
