Stellar Metallicity (log Z/Z_⊙)

Stellar metallicity sets the UV-optical SED shape: metal-poor stars are hotter and bluer (less line blanketing), while metal-rich stars have stronger absorption features and redder continua. This plot sweeps met_logzsol from \(-2\) (0.01 \(Z_\odot\)) to \(0.2\) (1.6 \(Z_\odot\)) at fixed SFH and dust.
