7 Error estimate

The uncertainties reported in Tables 7, 8 and 9 regarding the different flux estimates have been derived as follows:


\begin{displaymath}
\sigma_{f_{{\rm H}_{\alpha}}}= 
\sqrt{\left(\frac{\partial f...
 ...rtial\alpha_{\rm G}} \cdot
\sigma_{\alpha_{\rm G}} \right)^2 } \end{displaymath} (15)

where:

to $\alpha_{\rm G}$.\\ \end{array}\end{displaymath}

The errors regarding the H$_\alpha$ luminosity (Tables 7 and 9) have been calculated by applying the error propagation formula.
