Introduction Background & Motivation
Introduction Observation & Data Results & Discussions Summary Key questions in galaxy evolution What triggers/prevents star formation activities in galaxies? What is the role of the environment where the galaxy lives? How is the redshift evolution? It is essentially important to disentangle relations between SF and other galactic properties.
Introduction Observation & Data Results & Discussions Summary For star-forming galaxies, tight Mstar-SFR relations have been reported. e.g., Noeske+07, Elbaz+07, Daddi+07, Pannella+09, Rodighiero+11 How does the relation evolve with redshift? Does environment impacts on the relation? SFing galaxies standard mode of star formation Star forming main sequence
Introduction Observation & Data Results & Discussions Summary Problematic points & Motivation many different SFR indicators are used (e.g., UV, FIR, 24μm) the redshift desert (1.4<z<2.0) For high-z star forming galaxies, Measure SFR based on a well-calibrated indicator Hα emission Beyond z~0.5, Hα is redshifted to the NIR, so one had to rely on other SFR indicators previously...

Results & Discussions Dust extinction / Star-forming main sequence / MZ relation Summary Differential extinctions toward Continuum (stars) and Emission lines (HII regions) Extinction toward Emission lines toward Continuum For nearby starbursts, f = 0.44 Calzetti+00 Is this valid for high-z galaxies? Now different values b/w 0.44 and 1.0 are suggested for high-z e.g. Förster Schreiber+09, Wuyts+11, Mancini+11, Reddy+10, Onodera+10, Pannella+in prep, Wild+11, Price+13
