Abstract: |
Starbursts are found through the whole Universe and represent
an important phase in the evolution of galaxies. Distant starbursts may be easily
observed and study in the ultraviolet light because of their massive stars.
I will present magnitude and color simulations of young stellar populations in order
to characterize their age, metallicity, initial mass function, and star formation rate
and history. These simulations take into account the filters available with the
Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope. |
