Star formation properties in the Local Volume galaxies via $H\alpha$ and FUV fluxes

Understand

A distance-limited sample of 869 objects from the Updated Nearby Galaxy Catalog is used to characterize the star formation status of the Local Volume population.

• We present a compiled list of 1217 star formation rate (SFR) estimates for 802 galaxies within 11 Mpc from us, derived from the H-alpha imaging surveys and GALEX far-ultraviolet survey.
• We briefly discuss some basic scaling relations between SFR and luminosity, morphology, HI-mass, surface brightness, as well as environment of the galaxies.
• About 3/4 of our sample consist of dwarf galaxies, for which we offer a more refined classification.
