Resolved Stellar Mass Estimation of Nearby Late-type Galaxies for the SPHEREx Era: Dependence on Stellar Population Synthesis Models by Jeong Hwan Lee, Minjin Kim, Taehyun Kim, Hyunjin Shim, Luis C. Ho, Ho Seong Hwang, Hyunmi Song, Dohyeong Kim, Yujin Yang, Woong-Seob Jeong

“…The upcoming all-sky infrared spectrophotometric SPHEREx mission is set to provide spatially resolved stellar mass maps of nearby galaxies, offering more detailed insights than integrated light observations. In this study, we develop a strategy for estimating stellar mass using SPHEREx by examining the dependence on different stellar population synthesis (SPS) models and proposing new scaling relations based on simulated SPHEREx data. …”
