Star-formation is one of the key processes that shape the current
state and evolution of galaxies. This volume provides a
comprehensive presentation of the different methods used to measure
the intensity of recent or on-going star-forming activity in
galaxies, discussing their advantages and complications in detail.
It includes a thorough overview of the theoretical underpinnings of
star-formation rate indicators, including topics such as stellar
evolution and stellar spectra, the stellar initial mass function,
and the physical conditions in the interstellar medium. The authors
bring together in one place detailed and comparative discussions of
traditional and new star-formation rate indicators, star-formation
rate measurements in different spatial scales, and comparisons of
star-formation rate indicators probing different stellar
populations, along with the corresponding theoretical background.
This is a useful reference for students and researchers working in
the field of extragalactic astrophysics and studying star-formation
in local and higher-redshift galaxies.
