Estimating Star Formation Rates from Infrared and Radio Luminosities: The Origin of the Radio‐Infrared Correlation
Estimating Star Formation Rates from Infrared and Radio Luminosities: The Origin of the Radio‐Infrared Correlation
I have assembled a diverse sample of galaxies from the literature with far-ultraviolet (FUV), optical, infrared (IR) and radio luminosities to explore the calibration of radio-derived and IR-derived star formation (SF) rates, and the origin of the radio-IR correlation. By comparing the 8-1000 micron IR, which samples dust-reprocessed starlight, with …
