The Hα approach<br />

Samples of Hα-selected star-forming galaxies<br />

Hα as an excellent CURRENT SFR tracer, AGN sensible<br />

Same rest-frame selection criteria<br />

Narrow-band Total line fluxes. No aperture corrections<br />

Line selected <br />

‣ Well defined volume<br />

‣ Complete and representative samples<br />

‣ Wide coverage in the parameters space<br />
