Indicators of star formation: 4000 Angstrom break and Balmer lines
read the original abstract
The behaviour of the 4000 Angstrom break index and of the equivalent width of the main Balmer lines is investigated a) for a single star as a function of effective temperature, gravity and metallicity and b) for a single stellar population as a function of age and metallicity. Consequences for the interpretation of integrated spectra are presented.

Unbreaking the Universe: MINERVA Measurements of Color Gradients in Massive Quiescent Galaxies Can Help Ease Too-Early Star Formation Tensions
Resolved photometry of four high-redshift quiescent galaxies reveals negative color gradients that lower estimated stellar masses by 0.1 dex relative to slit measurements, reducing model tensions under an age-driven i...

Inside-Out vs. Outside-In Quenching of MaNGA Galaxies: Dependence on Stellar Mass and Environment
Different quenching tracers applied to MaNGA galaxies produce varying inside-out versus outside-in fractions, with inside-out rising at higher stellar mass while halo-mass trends are weaker.

First Light And Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) XXI: The UV Indices of Galaxies in the Early Universe
Simulations of high-redshift galaxies show the 1719 Å UV index reliably traces stellar metallicity while others are more sensitive to star formation history.
