FEAST: a NIRSpec/MOS survey of emerging young star clusters in NGC 628

Helena Faustino Vieira, Angela Adamo, Neville Shane +18

JWST can pierce through dusty molecular clouds to study the early stages of star formation, where young star clusters are actively driving stellar feedback and still emerging from…

The H alpha Galaxy Survey VI. Star-forming companions of nearby field galaxies

P. A. James, J. O'Neill, N. S. Shane

We present a search for star-forming satellite galaxies that are close enough to their parent galaxies to be considered analogues of the Magellanic Clouds. Our search technique rel…

The H alpha Galaxy Survey. IV. Star formation in the local Universe

P. A. James, J. H. Knapen, N. S. Shane +2

We present an analysis of the star formation properties of field galaxies within the local volume out to a recession velocity limit of 3000 km/s. A parent sample of 863 star-formin…

The H-alpha Galaxy Survey II. Extinction and NII corrections to H-alpha fluxes

P. A. James, N. S. Shane, J. H. Knapen +2

We study the two main corrections generally applied to narrow-band H-alpha fluxes from galaxies in order to convert them to star formation rates, namely for NII contamination and f…

The H alpha Galaxy Survey I. The galaxy sample, H alpha narrow-band observations and star formation parameters for 334 galaxies

P. A. James, N. S. Shane, J. E. Beckman +12

We discuss the selection and observations of a large sample of nearby galaxies, which we are using to quantify the star formation activity in the local Universe. The sample consist…

Star Formation along the Hubble sequence: results from a new Halpha Galaxy Survey

Neville S. Shane, Phil A. James

We are conducting a large survey of star formation within ~400 nearby spiral and irregular galaxies through imaging of the Halpha emission. We present here some of our first result…
