Abstract

NGC 7582 is defined as a Starburst/AGN galaxy, since its optical and X-Ray spectra reveal both characteristics. In this work, we show the results of a stellar population modeling in a datacube taken with the Gemini South telescope. We found that ~ 90% of the light in the field of view is emitted by stars that are less than 1 billion years old. A strong burst occurred about ~ 6 million years ago and has nearly solar metallicity. We also found a Wolf-Rayet cluster.
