Studies of violent star formation in extragalactic systems. I - Population synthesis model for the ionizing clusters of giant H II regions and H II galaxies

Population synthesis models for the ionizing clusters of giant extragalactic H II regions and H II galaxies are presented. These clusters are assumed to be single bursts of star formation characterized by a power-law mass distribution. Theoretical model interior and atmospheric calculations are used to define the stellar properties. Detailed tabulation of observable global parameters of the clusters is presented.
