On the Determination of Star Formation Rates in Evolving Galaxy Populations
On the Determination of Star Formation Rates in Evolving Galaxy Populations
The redshift dependence of the luminosity density in certain wave bands (e.g., UV and Hα) can be used to infer the history of star formation in the populations of galaxies producing this luminosity. This history is a useful datum in studies of galaxy evolution. It is therefore important to understand …
