Abstract

We develop a new method to constrain the star formation histories, dust attenuation and stellar masses of galaxies. It is based on two stellar absorption line indices, the 4000 break strength and the Balmer absorption line index H A . Together, these indices allow us to constrain the mean stellar ag...
