This contribution presents an inverse method for stellar population synthesis in unresolved galaxies or composite stellar systems. The method provides the unique solution that fits at best a composite object spectrum using a database of stellar (or clusters) spectra. It provides as well a computation of the error around the solution giving thus a confidence level to the result. The reddening in the optical spectrum due to the presence of dust, the dust emission in the IR, the continum emission of an AGN and the velocity dispersion of stars are also modelled. This method is thus a powerful tool for the study of the stellar composition of unresolved galaxies, especially at high specral resolution.
An application to a Globular cluster and to a sample of previously studied AGNs will be also presented.
The method is fully described in Moultaka.
