The ALFALFA Halpha Survey: Measuring the Local Star-Formation Rate Density<\/strong> The ALFALFA Halpha survey uses a volume-limited sample of HI-selected galaxies from the ALFALFA survey to study star formation in the local universe. We have obtained sensitive narrow-band Halpha images of 1555 galaxies between 20 and 100 Mpc. Our large, complete sample of galaxies gives us robust statistics and allows us to cover a wide range of galaxian environments. A primary goal of our survey is to produce a precise measurement of the local star-formation rate density (SFRD). In this talk I will give an overview of the ALFALFA Halpha survey and discuss our recent measurement of the local SFRD.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"cgca-seminar-angela-van-sistine","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2015-11-06 13:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"06","hour":"13","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2015-11-06 14:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"06","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2015-11-06 19:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"06","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2015-11-06 20:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"06","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"CGCA Seminars","slug":"cgca-seminars","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":50,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":72,"filter":"raw","id":46,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/46","collection":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":2852,"author":"63","status":"publish","date":"2015-08-05 14:37:15","date_utc":"2015-08-05 19:37:15","modified":"2015-08-05 14:37:15","modified_utc":"2015-08-05 19:37:15","url":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/venue\/kirc-ken-2175\/","venue":"KIRC KEN 2175","slug":"kirc-ken-2175","address":"3135 N.
