Abstract

Galaxies from the entire Uppsala Galaxy Catalog (UGC) have been identified with 4583 radio sources stronger than 2.5 mJy at 1.4 GHz from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS). The complete sample of 3398 galaxies brighter than m p = 14.5 in the area defined by δ > -2°30' and | b | > 20° yielded the UGC/NVSS sample of 1966 radio sources. Their dominant energy sources were classified as stars (85%) or active galactic nuclei (15%). The luminosity function of star-forming galaxies agrees well with the far-infrared (FIR) luminosity function converted to 1.4 GHz by the FIR/radio correlation. The spectral power density of star-forming galaxies is U SF = (1.53 ± 0.07) × 10 19 W Hz -1 Mpc -3 (statistical errors only) if H 0 = 70 km s -1 Mpc -1 . We used a model consistent with the observed FIR/radio correlation to estimate the corresponding star formation rate density within the past τ ∼ 3 × 10 8 yr; it is ρ SF ( M > 0.1 M ⊙ ) ≈ 0.018 M ⊙ yr -1 Mpc -3 . The radio sources in star-forming galaxies may be evolving even at moderately low redshifts ( z ∼ 0.1).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
