We present, for the first time, model spectra of single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations computed with the E-MILES evolutionary synthesis code incorporating an environment-dependent, variable galaxy-wide initial mass function (gwIMF). This gwIMF, calculated using the GalIMF code, is rooted in the integrated galactic initial mass function (IGIMF) theory, which predicts IMF variations as a function of the star formation rate and the metallicity. By coupling these two codes, we generated a comprehensive library of single-burst stellar population spectra uniquely sensitive to gwIMF

The existence of dark matter is probably one of the fundamental mysteries of modern science and unraveling its nature has become one of the primary goals of modern Physics. Despite representing 85% of all matter in the Universe, we do not know what it is. In its simplest description, it is made up of particles that interact with each other and with ordinary matter only through gravity. However, this description does not correspond to any physical model. Finding out what dark matter is requires finding evidence of some kind of interaction of dark matter that goes beyond gravity.
