Star Formation in the Nearby Universe: The Ultraviolet and Infrared Points of View
Open accessAbstract
This work presents the main ultraviolet (UV) and far-infrared (FIR) properties of two samples of nearby galaxies selected from the GALEX (λ = 2315 Å, hereafter NUV) and IRAS (λ = 60 μm) surveys, respectively. They are built in order to obtain detection at both wavelengths for most of the galaxies. Star formation rate (SFR) estimators based on the UV and FIR emissions are compared. Systematic differences are found between the SFR estimators for individual galaxies based on the NUV fluxes corrected for dust attenuation and on the total IR luminosity. A combined estimator based on NUV and IR luminosities seems to be the best proxy over the whole range of values of SFR. Although both samples present similar average values of the birthrate parameter b , their star-formation-related properties are substantially different: NUV-selected galaxies tend to show larger values of b for lower masses, SFRs, and dust attenuation, supporting previous scenarios of star formation history (SFH). Conversely, about 20% of the FIR-selected galaxies show high values of b , SFR, and NUV attenuation. These galaxies, most of them being LIRGs and ULIRGs, break down the downsizing picture of SFH; however, their relative contribution per unit volume is small in the local universe. Finally, the cosmic SFR density of the local universe is estimated in a consistent way from the NUV and IR luminosities.

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.
