Abstract
We present new calibrations of the widely used H-alpha, [OII], and UV luminosity vs. star formation rate (SFR) relations. Using our evolutionary, synthesis code GALEV we compute the different calibrations for 5 metallicities, from 1/50 solar up to 2.5 solar. We find significant changes in the calibrations for lower metallicities compared to the standard calibrations using solar input physics.
