In this chapter we discuss the population and spectral synthesis of stellar populations. We describe the method required to achieve such synthesis and discuss examples where inclusion of interacting binaries are vital to reproducing the properties of observed stellar systems. These examples include the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, massive star number counts, core-collapse supernovae and the ionising radiation from stellar populations that power both nearby HII regions and the epoch of reionization. We finally offer some speculations on the future paths of research in spectral synthesis.

  1. Spatially resolved H$\alpha$ emission in B14-65666: compact starbursts, ionizing efficiency and gas kinematics in an advanced merger at the Epoch of Reionization

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    MIRI/JWST resolves H-alpha in the z=7.15 merger B14-65666 into two starbursting galaxies with SFRs of 76 and 30 Msun/yr and a 175 km/s velocity offset.
