A Method for Determining the Star Formation History of a Mixed Stellar Population
A Method for Determining the Star Formation History of a Mixed Stellar Population
We present a method to determine the star formation history of a mixed stellar population from its photometry. We perform a chi-squared minimization between the observed photometric distribution and a model photometric distribution, based on theoretical isochrones. The initial mass function, distance modulus, interstellar reddening, binary fraction and photometric errors …
