SFR in massive Galaxies from the CALIFA Survey

The star formation rate (SFR) is one of the main parameters used to understand the different processes that contribute to the evolution of galaxies throughout time. In this work we study the relation between the global SFR and total stellar mass for massive galaxies (i.e., 10.5 <log (M_*/M_sun) <11.5) in the nearby Universe. For this we use the galaxies included in the CALIFA survey. In particular we select a sample of 332 galaxies. We will present how this relation changes/deviates when other physical properties are considered, such as gas fraction or morphology.
