We study star formation rate (SFR) indicators for Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) 22 \mu m selected, star-forming galaxies at 0.01 < z < 0.3 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using extinction-corrected H\alpha\ luminosities and…

We study zCOSMOS-bright optical spectra for 609 Spitzer/MIPS 24 micron-selected galaxies with S(24um)> 0.30 mJy and I<22.5 (AB mag) over 1.5 sq. deg. of the COSMOS field. From emission-line diagnostics we find that: 1) star-formation rates…

We use a spectroscopic sample of 286 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 1<z<3 from the GMASS survey to study different star formation rate (SFR) estimators. Infrared (IR) data are used to derive empirical calibrations to correct ultraviolet…

Using new J-band VLT-ISAAC and Keck-NIRSPEC spectroscopy, we have measured Halpha and [NII] line fluxes for 0.47<z<0.92 CFRS galaxies which have [OII], Hbeta and [OIII]a line fluxes available from optical spectroscopy, to investigate how…

We combine H-alpha emission-line and infrared continuum measurements of two samples of nearby galaxies to derive dust attenuation-corrected star formation rates (SFRs). We use a simple energy balance based method that has been applied…

The Star Formation Rate (SFR) was determined from a sample of 36 late-type galaxies (14 dS and 22 Sm), from the H(alpha) and Far Ultraviolet (FUV) flux. We found that the SFR(FUV) was in most cases higher than the SFR(H(alpha)).We also…

We derive H{\alpha} fluxes for a large spectroscopic and photometric-redshift-selected sample of sources over GOODS-North and South in the redshift range z = 3.8-5.0 with deep HST, Spitzer/IRAC, and ground-based observations. The H{\alpha}…

We present the star formation and dust attenuation properties for a sample of 602 galaxies at redshifts $\rm{3<z<7}$, as part of the JADES survey. Our analysis is based on measurements of the $\rm{H}\alpha/\rm{H}\beta$ Balmer Decrement…

We report the results of J-band infrared spectroscopy of a sample of 13 z=1 field galaxies drawn from the Canada-France Redshift Survey, targeting galaxies whose redshifts place the rest frame H-alpha line emission from HII regions in…

Optical spectra of 14 emission-line galaxies representative of the 1999 NICMOS parallel grism Ha survey of McCarthy et al. are presented. Of the 14, 9 have emission lines confirming the redshifts found in the grism survey. The higher…

We present results on the star-formation rate (SFR) versus stellar mass ($M_*$) relation (i.e., the "main sequence") among star-forming galaxies at 1.37$\leq$$z$$\leq$2.61 using the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey. Based on a…

We discuss the relative merits of using UV and H_alpha as star formation indicators from galaxy surveys. In particular, comparing UV and H_alpha in the CFRS gives a limit of a factor 2.5 for the UV(2800 Angs.) flux extinction from dust,…

This study examines the limitations of H$\alpha$ luminosity as a tracer of star formation rates (SFR) in spatially resolved observations. We carry out high-resolution simulations of a Milky Way-like galaxy including both supernova and…
