Description
We have extended our evolutionary synthesis models for Star Forming Regions to the γ-ray domain. Applying different yields to the resulting synthetic populations, we obtain lightcurves of γ-ray line emission due to the radioactive decay of stellar nucleosynthesis products, such as 26Al and 60Fe. We present here this time evolution and the application of the models to regions of star formation in our galaxy.
