'The Current Star Formation Rate of the Local Universe' (1995, ApJ 455,L1) which is a key result of the UCM Survey has recently reached 300 citations according to NASA ADS service.

This quantity is not usual and this is why Jesús Gallego (the PhD student who made the work and deserves the merit) and Jaime Zamorano (his proud thesis advisor) are more than happy.

See some pictures of Jesús Gallego in the time when the work was done and the paper published.
