We present preliminary results of Hα near-infrared spectroscopy of
six galaxies with redshifts z˜1 drawn from the DEEP2 Galaxy
Redshift Survey. The spectra have been taken with the multi-object mode
of LIRIS (Long-slit Intermediate Resolution Infrared Spectrograph)
installed at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope. This is a pilot study
for a larger program to obtain Hα luminosities of about 50
star-forming galaxies at z˜1, with the aim of deriving the
corresponding star formation rates (SFRs) from Hα as well as
studying the relationship with other SFR indicators. The new galaxy
sample will be selected from the Extended Groth Strip Survey, where
galaxies will also have measures of stellar masses, reddening, far-IR
data, and galaxy morphologies.
