Abstract

We are interested in the stellar content in the central regionof active galaxies. In this aim, we perform stellar population synthesisof the integrated starlight in the Optical and NIR using a mathematicalmethod (Pelat, 1997, MNRAS 284, 365) dedicated to the determinationof the best solution (among the many local solutions) in the stellarpopulation synthesis problem which is a complex inverse problem. Anew development of the code allows the determination of the error zonearound the solution, expected from the observational uncertainties. Inthe next sections, we present this very powerful method and resultsobtained from a sample of AGN.
