The aim is to characterize the physical and global properties of this sample of galaxies. We have calculated the luminosity function, getting the deepest determination of the alpha parameter to date, and the star formation rate density of the universe at z ~ 0.61. We have studied the relations between extinction and star formation rate (SFR) and between SFR and stellar mass in the sample. We have performed a morphological and spectroscopical classification of the objects.spamaster thesisopen access5252-33GalaxiesStar-Forming GalaxiesStar Formation RateStar Formation Rate DensityLuminosity FunctionAstrofísicaAstronomía (Física)
