We present a comparative study of a set of star-formation rate tracers based on mid-infrared emission in the 12.81$\mu$m [Ne II] line, the 15.56$\mu$m [Ne III] line, and emission features from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) between…

We present new results on the cosmic star formation history in the SXDS-UDS field out to z=1.6. We compile narrow-band data from the Subaru Telescope and the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) in conjunction with…

To understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, it is important to have a full comprehension of the role played by the metallicity, star formation rate (SFR), morphology, and color. The interplay of these parameters at different…

It is well established that (1) star-forming galaxies follow a relation between their star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass (M$_{\star}$), the "star-formation sequence", and (2) the SFRs of galaxies correlate with their structure,…

Many investigations of star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies have explored details of dust obscuration, with a number of recent analyses suggesting that obscuration appears to increase in systems with high rates of star formation. To date…

The [O II] 3727 emission line is often used as an indicator of star formation rate in extragalactic surveys, and it can be an equally effective tracer of star formation in systems containing luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In order…

We present a meta-analysis of star-formation rate (SFR) indicators in the GAMA survey, producing 12 different SFR metrics and determining the SFR-M* relation for each. We compare and contrast published methods to extract the SFR from each…

Star-formation rates (SFR) in galaxies offer a view of various physical processes across them and are measured using various tracers, such as H$\alpha$ and UV. Different physical mechanisms can affect H$\alpha$ and UV emission, resulting in…

We present specific star-formation rates for 40 UV-bright galaxies at $z\sim7-8$ observed as part of the Reionization Era Bright Emission Line Survey (REBELS) ALMA large program. The sSFRs are derived using improved measures of SFR and…

We present the luminosity function of [OII]-emitting galaxies at a median redshift of z=0.9, as measured in the deep spectroscopic data in the STIS Parallel Survey (SPS). The luminosity function shows strong evolution from the local value,…

We analyze JWST spectroscopic and HST+JWST photometric observations of 659 star-forming galaxies at $1.4 < z < 9$ from DR3 of the JADES survey and the AURORA Cycle 1 program. We measure the star-forming main sequence (SFMS) for galaxies…

We have carried out a deep imaging survey for H$\alpha$ emitting galaxies at $z\approx$0.24 using a narrowband filter tuned with the redshifted line. The total sky area covered is 706 arcmin$^2$ within a redshift range from 0.234 to 0.252…

Strong nebular emission lines are a sensitive probe of star formation and extinction in galaxies, and the [O II] line detects star forming populations out to z>1. However, star formation rates from emission lines depend on calibration of…

We study the star formation rate (SFR) as a function of environment for UV selected Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at redshift three. From deep UBVI KPNO 4-m/MOSAIC images, covering a total of 0.90 deg^2, we select 334 LBGs in slices 100 Mpc…

Different wavelength regimes and methods for estimating the space density of the star-formation rate (SFR) result in discrepant values. While it is recognised that ultra-violet (UV) and H-alpha emission line data must be corrected for the…
