RT Journal Article T1 New empirical fitting functions for the Lick/IDS indices using MILES A1 Martín Hernández, J.M. A1 Mármol Queraltó, E. A1 Gorgas García, Francisco Javier A1 Cardiel López, Nicolás A1 Sánchez Blázquez, Patricia A1 Cenarro, A.J. A1 Peletier, R. F. A1 Vazdekis, A. A1 Falcón Barroso, J. AB We are presenting new empirical fitting functions for the Lick/IDS line-strength indices as measured in MILES (Medium-resolution INT Library of Empirical Spectra). Following previous work in the field, these functions describe the empirical behaviour of the line-strength indices with the atmospheric stellar parameters (T_(eff), logɡ, [Fe/H]). In order to derive the fitting functions we have devised a new procedure which, being fully automatic, provides a better description of the line-strength index variations in the stellar parameter space.
