Abstract

TP-AGB stars dominate the K-band luminosity in simple stellar populations of age ≈ 1 Gyr. Mass estimates of galaxies with dominant stellar populations in this age range thus depend critically on the treatment of TP-AGB stars in population synthesis models. Here I present some preliminary results from Charlot & Bruzual (in prep.).
