In fact, the integrated pe- culiarities of ss-SSPs are various from those of stellar populations with binary 2 interactions (bs-SSPs). Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effects of v 9 binary interactions on the Lick indices and colours of populations detailedly. 5 We show some formulae for calculating the difference between the Lick indices 8 and colours of bs-SSPs, and those of ss-SSPs. Twenty-five Lick indices and 12 1 colours are studied in the work. The results can be conveniently used for esti- . 2 mating the effects of binary interactions on stellar population studies and for 1 adding the effects of binary interactions into existing ss-SSP models.
