Modeling stellar populations in cluster galaxies

摘要

In this review I highlight the role played by spectrophotometric models in the study of galaxy evolution in distant clusters. I summarize the main achievements of the modeling of k+a spectra, the derivation of the star formation rate in emission-line galaxies, and the stellar ages of red cluster galaxies. The current knowledge of the dependence of the star formation histories on the galaxy morphology and luminosity is also presented.
