Abstract
The star formation rate (SFR) evolution with redshift is one of the key observational parameters in order to compare with current theories of formation and evolution of galaxies. The value for the SFR in the local universe is very dependent on the shape of the luminosity function and in particular on the a parameter. The UCM-CIDA-YALE survey (UCY) has grown to address this problem, among others. Using the objective-prism technique, we have been able to obtain a large sample of star-forming galaxy candidates in the local universe. The UCY survey aims to be the most extense colection of low luminosity star forming galaxies down to M B = −12. The global properties of the survey are presented.
