[Abridged] We present new measurements of the H-alpha luminosity function (LF) and SFR volume density for galaxies at z~0.8. Our analysis is based on 1.18$mu$m narrowband data from the NEWFIRM H-alpha Survey, a comprehensive program designed to capture deep samples of intermediate redshift emission-line galaxies using narrowband imaging in the near-infrared. The combination of depth ($approx1.9times10^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ in H-alpha at 3$sigma$) and areal coverage (0.82 deg$^2$) complements other recent H-alpha studies at similar redshifts, and enables us to minimize the impact of cosmic variance and place robust constraints on the shape of the LF. The present sample contains 818 NB118 excess objects, 394 of which are selected as H-alpha emitters. Optical spectroscopy has been obtained for 62% of the NB118 excess objects. Empirical optical broadband color classification is used to sort the remainder of the sample. A comparison of the LFs constructed for the four individual fields reveals significant cosmic variance, emphasizing that multiple, widely separated observations are required. The dust-corrected LF is well-described by a Schechter function with L*=10^{43.00pm0.52} ergs s^{-1}, phi*=10^{-3.20pm0.54} Mpc^{-3}, and alpha=-1.6pm0.19. We compare our H-alpha LF and SFR density to those at z<1, and find a rise in the SFR density propto(1+z)^{3.4}, which we attribute to significant L* evolution. Our H-alpha SFR density of 10^{-1.00pm0.18} M_sun yr^{-1} Mpc^{-3} is consistent with UV and [O II] measurements at z~1. We discuss how these results compare to other H-alpha surveys at z~0.8, and find that the different methods used to determine survey completeness can lead to inconsistent results. This suggests that future surveys probing fainter luminosities are needed, and more rigorous methods of estimating the completeness should be adopted as standard procedure.
To derive a new H$alpha$ luminosity function and to understand the clustering properties of star-forming galaxies at $z approx 0.24$, we have made a narrow-band imaging survey for H$alpha$ emitting galaxies in the HST COSMOS 2 square degree field. We
We present the spatially resolved H-alpha (Ha) dynamics of sixteen star-forming galaxies at z~0.81 using the new KMOS multi-object integral field spectrograph on the ESO VLT. These galaxies were selected using 1.18 um narrow-band imaging from the 10
We present clustering analyses of identically-selected star-forming galaxies in 3 narrow redshift slices (at z=0.8, z=1.47 and z=2.23), from HiZELS, a deep, near-infrared narrow-band survey. The HiZELS samples span the peak in the cosmic star-formati
We take advantage of the capability of the OTELO survey to obtain the H$alpha$ luminosity function (LF) at ${rm z}sim0.40$. Because of the deepest coverage of OTELO, we are able to determine the faint end of the LF, and thus better constrain the star
Using deep narrow-band and broad-band imaging, we identify 401 z~0.40 and 249 z~0.49 H-alpha line-emitting galaxies in the Subaru Deep Field. Compared to other H-alpha surveys at similar redshifts, our samples are unique since they probe lower H-alph
