Description
I will introduce a new methodology to generate synthetic stars from star particles in cosmological simulations. This technique takes properties of star particles from simulations as input and allows to obtain a catalogue of mock stars, provided with photometric properties. The key goal of this method is to compare as fairly as possible the outcome of cosmological simulations, that provide a coarse sampling of stellar populations by means of star particles corresponding to simple stellar populations, with observations, that explicitly resolve single stars within stellar populations. This technique will be of paramount importance with ongoing survey data releases (e.g. GAIA and surveys of resolved stellar populations).
