1112.2548 (S. S. Kaisin et al.)

Survey of H-alpha emission from thirty nearby dwarf galaxies    [PDF]

S. S. Kaisin, I. D. Karachentsev, E. I. Kaisina
Measurements of the H-alpha flux from 30 neighboring dwarf galaxies are presented. After correction for absorption, these fluxes are used to estimate the star formation rate (SFR). The SFR for 18 of the galaxies according to the H-alpha emission are compared with estimates of the SFR from FUV magnitudes obtained with the GALEX telescope. These are in good agreement over the range log[SFR] = [-3,0]M sun/yr.
