摘要:

观测显示星系中的大部分恒星是双星,因此星族合成研究必须考虑双星的作用。综述双星对星族合成研究的重要性。
主要讨论了双星对早型星系和球状星团的能谱、谱指数、颜色、颜色-星等图、星系参数确定和恒星形成历史研究的影响。主要结论为双星有助于对星系和星团的光谱、颜色-星等图的解释,以及对星系和星团多个参数的准确确定。因此,双星是准确星族合成研究的必然要求。

Abstract:

Observations show that most stars are in binaries, which indicates that binaries should be taken into account in stellar population synthesis studies. This paper reviews the importance of binaries in the studies of stellar populations. The effects of binaries on the spectral energy distributions, line strength indices, colours, colour-magnitude diagrams, parameter determinations, and star formation histories are discussed. The review shows that binaries are very helpful for the explanations of spectra and colour-magnitude diagrams of galaxies and star clusters, and they also affect the determinations of many important parameters. Therefore, the inclusion of binaries is a natural trend for future stellar population studies.

Key words: binaries, stellar population synthesis, galaxies, star clusters
