Measuring and mapping star-forming activity in galaxies is a key element
for our understanding of their broad- band spectra, and their structure
and evolution in our local, as well as the high-redshift Universe. The
main tool we use for these measurements is the observed luminosity in
various spectral lines and/or continuum bands. However, the available
star-formation rate (SFR) indicators are often discrepant and subject to
physical biases and calibration uncertainties. We are organizing a
special session at the 2012 IAU General Assembly in Beijing, China
(August 20-31, 2012) in order to bring together theoreticians and
observers working in different contexts of star-formation to discuss the
status of current SFR indicators, to identify open issues and to define
a strategic framework for their resolution. The is an ideal time to
synthesize information from the current golden era of space astrophysics
and still have influence on the upcoming missions that will broaden our
view of star-formation. We will be including high-energy constraints
on SFR in the program and encourage participation from the high energy
astrophysics community. This poster also includes a full list of
Beijing IAU sessions so you can plan your trip!
