SUMMARY:HaGS: a survey of star forming galaxies in the local Universe
DESCRIPTION:HaGS: a survey of star forming galaxies in the local Universe\n
 Prof. Phil James\n\nI will present results from a survey of the star forma
 tion properties of nearby galaxies, using H alpha narrow-band imaging. The
  first half of the talk will cover the `expected' results of such a survey
 : how total star formation rates depend on galaxy morphology, the contribu
 tion of different types to the global star formation activity per unit vol
 ume of the nearby Universe, constraints on star formation histories, and i
 ndications of how stellar mass has been assembled in disks from the spatia
 l distributions of young and old stars. The second half will look at some 
 less expected spin-offs, including some surprising facts about the Magella
 nic Clouds, and new findings on progenitors of core-collapse supernovae.
