Abstract | Our knowledge about unresolved stellar systems comes from comparing integrated-light properties to SSP models. Therefore it is crucial to calibrate the latter as well as possible by integrated-light colors of clusters that have reliable ages and metallicities (deep CMDs and/or spectroscopy of individual giants). This is especially true for the NIR and MIR, which contain important population synthesis diagnostics and are often used to derive masses of stellar systems at hight redshifts. Here we present integrated colors of MC clusters using new VRI photometry and 2MASS data. In the imminent future we will include MIR data from Spitzer/IRAC. We compare our new colors with popular SSP models to illustrate their strengths and weaknesses. |
