Query: A Comprehensive Comparative Test of Seven Widely-Used Spectral Synthesis
  Models Against Multi-Band Photometry of Young Massive Star Clusters   We test the predictions of spectral synthesis models based on seven different
massive-star prescriptions against Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS)
observations of eight young massive clusters in two local galaxies, NGC 1566
and NGC 5253, chosen because predictions of all seven models are available at
the published galactic metallicities. The high angular resolution, extensive
cluster inventory and full near-ultraviolet to near-infrared photometric
coverage make the LEGUS dataset excellent for this study. We account for both
stellar and nebular emission in the models and try two different prescriptions
for attenuation by dust. From Bayesian fits of model libraries to the
observations, we find remarkably low dispersion in the median E(B-V) (~0.03
mag), stellar masses (~10^4 M_\odot) and ages (~1 Myr) derived for individual
clusters using different models, although maximum discrepancies in these
quantities can reach 0.09 mag and factors of 2.8 and 2.5, respectively. This is
for ranges in median properties of 0.05-0.54 mag, 1.8-10x10^4 M_\odot and
1.6-40 Myr spanned by the clusters in our sample. In terms of best fit, the
observations are slightly better reproduced by models with interacting binaries
and least well reproduced by models with single rotating stars. Our study
provides a first quantitative estimate of the accuracies and uncertainties of
the most recent spectral synthesis models of young stellar populations,
demonstrates the good progress of models in fitting high-quality observations,
and highlights the needs for a larger cluster sample and more extensive tests
of the model parameter space.
