Star formation in the globules of the Trifid Nebula
We present optical and millimeter (continuum and molecular) observations of a cometary globule in the Trifid nebula showing clear signs of star formation...
Star Formation Rate Estimators: [OII]3727 vs Hα for Local Star-forming Galaxies
The [OII]3727 emission line is frequently used as an indicator of the star formation rate (SFR) despite its complex dependence on metallicity and excitation...
Star Formation Rates of a z~1 DEEP2 Galaxy Sample from LIRIS Multi-slit Hα Spectroscopy
Measurements of the global star formation history of the universe greatly benefit from the combination of independent star formation rate (SFR) indicators, and...
Star formation rates, efficiencies and initial mass functions in spiral galaxies
Using broad band photometry, a new method is derived to evaluate relative (arm with respect to the interarm disk) star formation rates and relative star...
