Star formation in nearby galaxies

DOI

We present multiwavelength global star formation rate (SFR) estimates for 326 galaxies from the Star Formation Reference Survey in order to determine the mutual scatter and range of validity of different indicators. The widely used empirical SFR recipes based on 1.4GHz continuum, 8.0um polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and a combination of far-infrared (FIR) plus ultraviolet (UV) emission are mutually consistent with scatter of <~0.3dex. The scatter is even smaller, <~0.24dex, in the intermediate luminosity range 9.3<log(L_60um_/L_{sun})5x10^9^L{sun}_ or with implied far-UV extinction <1mag, the UV spectral slope gives extinction corrections with 0.22dex uncertainty.
