Abstract

We compared the broadband colors of different simulated galaxies with $\sim10^5$ luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to obtain constraints for the possible star formation histories of this type of galaxies. The simulation was done using the GALAXEV evolutionary stellar population synthesis code. Our results are consistent with these objects having solar metallicities, having formed 11 Gyr before present and evolving passively, without significant star formation since then.
