Legacy survey [LVL, @dale09], we consider the wealth of information contained in their stellar populations. An understanding of these stellar populations can constrain the amount and impact of recent and past star-formation activity. We have obtained multi-wavelength photometry in order to fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for the BCDs and LVL galaxies. SED fitting has recently become a widely-used tool to derive physical properties of galaxies, including their stellar masses and star formation rates [cf., @walcher11].

Given that stellar mass is often considered the most fundamental parameter driving a galaxy’s evolutionary path [e.g., @tremonti04; @kewleyellison08 and references therein], star forming galaxies are often plotted on a “main sequence”, analogously to the main sequence of stellar evolution. This correlation between the stellar masses and SFRs of star-forming galaxies has been observed for massive galaxies in the nearby universe [@brinchmann04; @salim07] and at higher redshift [@daddi07], with a scatter of only $\sim$$0.2$ dex. The fact that this relationship exists with such low scatter across a wide range of redshifts seems to imply a universal mode of star formation, from which galaxies rarely deviate [@noeske07]. At smaller masses (below $10^9$[M\_]{}) the scatter becomes larger, as episodic bursts of star formation can affect
