Population synthesis in the blue. IV
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present a new set of model predictions for 16 Lick absorption line indices from H{delta} through Fe5335 and UBV colors for single stellar populations with ages ranging between 1 and 15Gyr, [Fe/H] ranging from -1.3 to +0.3, and variable abundance ratios.
Description
The models are based on accurate stellar parameters for the Jones library stars and a new set of fitting functions describing the behavior of line indices as a function of effective temperature, surface gravity, and iron abundance.
The abundances of several key elements in the library stars have been obtained from the literature in order to characterize the abundance pattern of the stellar library, thus allowing us to produce model predictions for any set of abundance ratios desired. We develop a method to estimate mean ages and abundances of iron, carbon, nitrogen, magnesium, and calcium that explores the sensitivity of the various indices modeled to those parameters.

The models are compared to high-S/N data for Galactic clusters spanning the range of ages, metallicities, and abundance patterns of interest. Essentially all line indices are matched when the known cluster parameters are adopted as input. Comparing the models to high-quality data for galaxies in the nearby universe, we reproduce previous results regarding the enhancement of light elements and the spread in the mean luminosity-weighted ages of early-type galaxies.
