SSP
(simple stellar population, single stellar population, single-metallicity stellar population)
(set of stars born at the same time with the same metallicity)
The abbreviation SSP (for simple stellar population
or single stellar population)
means stars born the same time, with the same metallicity,
presumably from the same molecular cloud.
An example would be the stars of a particular stellar cluster.
The term SSP is commonly used in models of the evolution and
demographics of such groups of stars, which are
used to interpret observation.
(stars,star clusters)
