Abstract
We present a method to obtain the history of the local star formation rate (SFR) by using the G dwarf metallicity distribution. The method is tested by simulations and applied to the solar neighborhood. We find strong evidences of two events of star formation: a big burst 8 Gyr ago, and a lull 2–3 Gyr ago. We also find evidences of a present star formation burst. These events agree with some previous determinations of the history of the local SFR.
