Abstract:

K and evolutionary corrections are given for the E, Sa and Sc Hubble types for the filters of the Johnson - Bessell & Brett photometric system and the gri filters of the modified Thuan & Gunn system up to the redshift z=3. Their dependence on the time scale of star formation in ellipticals is investigated.

The corrections are computed according to an evolutionary synthesis model that reproduces the integrated galaxy spectrum in the range Å; such a model makes use of an infrared observed stellar library and its results are compared with nearby galaxies.

Evolving spectral energy distributions of the various Hubble types, as well as optical-IR and IR-IR colour evolution and adopted filter response functions are also given.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
