Spectroscopic and Photometric Nearby Field Galaxy Survey
Poster paper presented at IAU Symposium 171, June 26-30 1995,
Heidelberg
ABSTRACT
On this poster we report the progress of our spectral and imaging survey
of nearby field galaxies.
This survey will be used to obtain an accurate description of star
formation rates and star formation history of galaxies in the nearby
universe and will serve as a benchmark for interpreting the spectra and
number counts of distant galaxies.
At this time, about 40% of the observations have been obtained.
