Abstract (from CDS):
Based on stellar population models without (SSP) and with (BSP) binary interactions, we investigate the effects of binary interactions on parameter determinations for early-type galaxies (ETGs). We present photometric redshift (photo-z), age and spectral type for photometric data sample by fitting observed magnitudes with the SSP and BSP models. Our results show that binary interactions have no effect on photo-z estimation. Once we neglect binary interactions, the age of ETGs will be underestimated, by contrast, the effects on the age estimations can be negligible for other type of galaxies. For ETG sample, we derive their properties by fitting their spectra with the SSP and BSP models. When comparing these galaxy properties, we find no variation of the overall metallicities for ETGs among the SSP and BSP models. Moreover, the inclusion of binary interactions can affect age estimations. Our results show that the BSP-fitted ages in ∼ 33.3 percent of ETG sample are around 0.5-1.0 Gyr larger than the SSP-fitted ages; ∼ 44.2 percent are only 0.1 - 0.5 Gyr larger; the rest ∼ 22.5 percent are approximately equal. By comparisons, we find the difference of the star formation rate between the SSP and BSP models is large at the late evolution stage.
