Rospo: Routines of (Stellar) Synthesis Population
INAF OAR-OACT





Inserito originariamente da timitalia
Rospo is a collection of routines developed for studies of stellar synthesis population. At present, the main topic of investigation are (1) the morphology of Horizontal Branches in Galactic Globular Clusters and (2) the period distribution of RR Lyrae stars in GGCs.

Rospo relies on an extended database of updated evolutionary tracks and isochrones (BASTI), and updated prescriptions about the instability strips for pulsational variables.

Some recent papers made with contributions of Rospo computations are:
