Outline:
* Modelling UV to radio SED of galaxies with GRASIL (short summary)
* Detailed analysis of galaxy SEDs with GRASIL to retrieve physical information:
(1) Early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster: NGC4435 (with SF activity ) (2) Attenuation in spiral galaxies(3) SED analysis of ULIRGs including radio

(Very brief) Description of GRA(phite)SIL(icate)(Silva et al 98, Silva 99, Granato et al 00, Bressan et al 02, Silva et al
03, Panuzzo et al 03, Vega et al 05)
3 dusty environments: dense phase ISM (star forming Molecular Clouds), diffuse phase (cirrus) clumping of stars and dust, dusty envelopes of AGB stars
Stars are born within MCs and gradually escape as a function of their age age-dependent extinction
Stars and dust are distributed in a bulge (King profile) + disk (double exponential profile) geometry Radiative transfer exactly solved
in MCs, with approximation in the cirrus (reasonable computing time)
Dust includes big grains, very small grains and PAHs. The emission is appropriately computed for each component
UV-to radio SEDs (continuum & nebular lines)

(1) Early-type galaxies in Virgo: SED analysis of NGC4435
Systematic spectroscopic study with Spitzer IRS of 17 Early type galaxies along the Color-Magnitude relation in Virgo Cluster (cycle 1)
Aim: *Optical+MIR SED as a tool to disentangle age and metallicity in passive E where the MIR is dominated by AGB dusty envelopes.
*MIR to detect also possible signs of nuclear SF
Result:
* 13 galaxies with the 10m bump expected from AGB dusty envelopes
* 4 galaxies with MIR signs of SF activity

Modelling intermediate age stellar populations in the IR: accounting for AGB dusty envelopes in SSPs
(Bressan, Granato, Silva 1998)
The brightest stars in intermediate age (100 Myr to a few Gyrs) stellarpopulations are AGB stars
AGB stars are embedded within dusty envelopes originated by very strong stellar winds (10-7-10-4 Mo/yr)
We included the effect of AGB dusty envelopes in SSP:
Spherical symmetry and vexp independent of r =(M,R,L,Z).
Radiative transfer of the photospheric SED through the envelope computed with the Granato et al code.
