Constraints on Fluctuating Star Formation Rates for Intermediate-mass Galaxies with Hα and UV Luminosities

We study the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of 575 intermediate-mass galaxies (IMGs, 10 ^9 ≤ M / M _⊙ ≤ 10 ^10 ) in COSMOS at 0.3 < z < 0.4 by comparing their H α and UV luminosities. These two measurements trace star formation rates (SFRs) on different timescales and together reveal f...
