Recovery of star formation histories. The four panels show a CSP at 3, 5, 7 and 11 Gyr from the onset of the SFH. Black vertical lines represent the exponentially delayed SFH (τ = 0.3 Gyr) assumed for the input spectra (rebinned according to the age step of our library models), while vertical lines represent the output SFH; horizontal arrows indicate the time from the beginning of the SF (i.e. 3, 5, 7 and 11 Gyr, respectively), while grey vertical lines mark the asymmetric age ranges around the SFH peak defined in the text for CSPs younger or older than 5 Gyr (i.e. [−1; + 0.5] and [−1.5; + 1], respectively).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
