Description
We present the modelling of new indicators for old and intermediate age
stellar populations based on the absorption features of Mg λ
˜ 5175 Å, Fe λ ˜ 4383 Å, and Hβ
λ ˜ 5270, 4860 Å. Spectral models of stellar
populations are convolved with the responses of the tunable filters of
OSIRIS-GTC to provide photometric indexes with great abilities to
separate age and metallicity effects. The new indexes allow us to obtain
2D maps of these features on the basis of a photometric approach and are
built up to unreveal most relevant stellar population parameters.
