英文摘要:
Emission from photoionised gas surrounding young stellar populations ($H\text{II}$ regions) provides critical diagnostics of the physical conditions in star forming galaxies. This emission constrains the gas properties, the nature of ionising sources, and generates essential features for determining galaxy redshifts. To leverage spectroscopic observations to test galaxy formation models, it is essential to incorporate these emissions into synthetic datasets. Here, we present the integration of photoionised gas emission into the SYNTHESIZER package (https://synthesizer-project.github.io) and demonstrate its application. We quantify the impact of key modelling assumptions - including stellar population synthesis models, initial mass functions, ionisation parameter, gas density, geometry, abundance pattern, elemental depletion, and dust - on spectral diagnostics. Furthermore, we demonstrate the versatility of SYNTHESIZER through its application in different scenarios ranging from exploring emission in toy parametric models to large-volume cosmological simulations with realistic star formation and metal enrichment histories. Taken together, SYNTHESIZER provides a flexible, physically motivated framework to model stellar and nebular emissions, serving as a vital link between theory and observations in the era of next-generation spectroscopic missions.
