RT Book, Section T1 Multiwavelength study of star-forming galaxies in the local Universe A1 Zamorano Calvo, Jaime A1 Díaz-Guerra Viejo, Carlos A1 Gallego Maestro, Jesús A1 Pérez González, Pablo Guillermo A1 Gil De Paz, Armando A1 Pascual Ramírez, Sergio A1 Villar, V. A1 Alonso Herrero, A. A1 Aragón Salamanca, A. AB We have studied in detail the properties of local active star-forming galaxies from the UCM survey, and in particular their star-formation histories. We have quantified the relative importance of the current episode of star formation in comparison to the underlying older stellar populations. We have also determined the total stellar mass function and burst mass function for the UCM sample using the M/L calculated for each galaxy. Integrating this mass function we obtained the contribution of the star-forming galaxies to the total stellar mass density of the local Universe.
