Description
The history of entire galaxies is encoded in their spectra.
Thus, from spectra, one can answer questions pertaining to evolutionary histories of galaxies.
Moreover, the Hubble constant can be constrained through spectroscopic ages of red galaxies.
In this work, we analyze how reliably one can age date galaxies, by including the metallicity and star formation history.
