摘要
We construct evolutionary synthesis models for simple stellar populations using the evolutionary tracks from the Padova group (1993: 1994), theoretical colour calibrations from Lejeune et al. (1997, 1998) and fit functions for stellar atmospheric indices from Worthey et al. (1994). A Monte-Carlo technique allows us to obtain a smooth time evolution of both broad band colours in UBVRIK and a series of stellar absorption features for Single Burst Stellar Populations (SSPs), We present colours and indices for SSPs with ages from 1 10(9) yrs to 1.6 10(10) yrs and metallicities [M/H] = -2.3, -1.7, -0.7, -0.4, 0.0 and 0.4. Model colours and indices at an age of about a Hubble time are in good agreement with observed colours and indices of the Galactic and M 31 GCs.
