¡Nos trasladamos! E-Prints cerrará el 7 de junio.

En las próximas semanas vamos a migrar nuestro repositorio a una nueva plataforma con muchas funcionalidades nuevas. En esta migración las fechas clave del proceso son las siguientes:

7 de junio: congelación de E-Prints. A partir de este momento, no se podrá hacer ningún depósito ni cambio, modificación o edición.
12 al 30 de junio: migración de E-Prints a Docta Complutense, comprobación y visto bueno de la migración
3 de julio: entrada en producción de Docta Complutense

Es muy importante que cualquier depósito se realice en E-Prints Complutense antes del 7 de junio. En caso de urgencia para realizar un depósito, se puede comunicar a docta@ucm.es.

Abstract

The measurement of the star formation rate density of the universe is of prime importance in understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. The [O II] ƛ3727 emission-line flux, easy to measure up to z ≈ 1.4 within deep redshift surveys in the optical and up to z ≈ 5/4 in the near-infrared, offers a reliable means of characterizing the star formation properties of high-z objects. In order to provide the high-z studies with a local reference, we have measured total [O II] ƛ3727 fluxes for the well-analyzed local sample of star-forming galaxies from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid Survey. These data are used to derive the [O II] ƛ3727 luminosity function for local star-forming galaxies. When compared with similar luminosity densities published for redshift up to z ≈ 1, the overall evolution already observed in the star formation activity of the universe is confirmed.
