People involved at OAB: L. Pozzetti, M. Tosi, F. Fusi-Pecci
In October 31st 2003 a workshop on ``Stellar population synthesis models and cosmology" was held at the OAB on the occasion of the visit of Prof. G. Bruzual, director of Centro de Investigationes de Astronomia, and one of the major expert of population synthesis models. The most active Italian experts on this specific field, coming from different Italian and international institutes, were invited. The workshop was intended to discuss the most updated versions of synthesis models and to compare the opinions of different leading experts, both theorists and observers, on several open questions, such as stellar populations in elliptical galaxies, with particular interest on Lick indices and alpha-enhancements, as well as on stellar populations in clusters and high-redshift galaxies and on the photometric estimate of the masses. The day was organized with several short presentations by the participants (listed below), a talk by G. Bruzual, and interesting discussions on both observational data and models.
