The 2โ€“10 keV luminosity as a Star Formation Rate indicator

The 2โ€“10 keV luminosity as a Star Formation Rate indicator

Radio and far infrared luminosities of star-forming galaxies follow a tight linear relation. Making use of ASCA and BeppoSAX observations of a well-defined sample of nearby star-forming galaxies, we argue that tight linear relations hold between the X-ray, radio and far infrared luminosities. The effect of intrinsic absorption is investigated โ€ฆ
