Scientific paper

Ground-based spectroscopy of a flux-limited sample of galaxies imaged at 2000 Angstrom with the FOCA balloon-borne camera has allowed us to derive a new estimate of the local star formation rate {SFR} in a manner directly comparable to that utilised for high redshift galaxies {Treyer et al. 1998}. Although UV radiation is a more sensitive tracer of instantaneous star formation than optical light, the inferred SFR is significantly more sensitive to unknown effects of dust scattering and absorption. Even modest dust corrections would imply the strong evolution claimed in the 0
