DETERMINING STAR FORMATION RATES FOR INFRARED GALAXIES
Open accessAbstract
We show that measures of star formation rates (SFRs) for infrared galaxies using either single-band 24 μm or extinction-corrected Paα luminosities are consistent in the total infrared luminosity = L (TIR) ∼ 10 10 L ☉ range. MIPS 24 μm photometry can yield SFRs accurately from this luminosity upward: SFR( M ☉ yr −1 ) = 7.8 × 10 −10 L (24 μm, L ☉ ) from L (TIR) = 5 × 10 9 L ☉ to 10 11 L ☉ and SFR = 7.8 × 10 −10 L (24 μm, L ☉ )(7.76 × 10 −11 L (24)) 0.048 for higher L (TIR). For galaxies with L (TIR) ⩾ 10 10 L ☉ , these new expressions should provide SFRs to within 0.2 dex. For L (TIR) ⩾ 10 11 L ☉ , we find that the SFR of infrared galaxies is significantly underestimated using extinction-corrected Paα (and presumably using any other optical or near-infrared recombination lines). As a part of this work, we constructed spectral energy distribution templates for eleven luminous and ultraluminous purely star forming infrared galaxies and over the spectral range 0.4 μm to 30 cm. We use these templates and the SINGS data to construct average templates from 5 μm to 30 cm for infrared galaxies with L (TIR) = 5 × 10 9 to 10 13 L ☉ . All of these templates are made available online.

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.
