Title: Constraints on galaxy physical properties from multi-wavelength observations
Date: Wednesday, October 31th, 2012
Time: 11:30
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract After a brief introduction on galaxy spectral synthesis, I will describe different approaches which have been developed over the past several years to interpret the ultraviolet, optical and infrared emission from galaxies in terms of constraints on physical parameters, such as star formation history, metallicity and dust content. I will also investigate the relative merits of different types of photometric and spectroscopic observations to constrain these physical parameters of galaxies. Finally, I will conclude by mentioning some current challenges of the spectral synthesis of galaxies.
