Abstract
AbstractWe present flux-calibrated integrated spectra in the optical spectral range of concentrated star clusters in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC-SMC), approximately half of which constitute unstudied objects. We have mainly estimated ages and foreground interstellar reddening values from the comparison of the line strengths and continuum distribution of the cluster spectra with those of template spectra with known parameters. Also reddening values were estimated by interpolation between the extinction maps of Burstein & Heiles (1982) (BH). A good agreement between ages and reddenings derived through the different procedures was found. The ages of the 27 LMC star clusters range from 5 to 125 Myr, while those of the 13 SMC vary from 4 to 350 Myr.
