Far-IR and H{alpha} fluxes in galaxies
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We combine H{alpha} emission-line and infrared (IR) continuum measurements of two samples of nearby galaxies to derive dust attenuation-corrected star formation rates (SFRs).
Description
We use a simple energy balance based method that has been applied previously to HII regions in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey, and extend the methodology to integrated measurements of galaxies. We find that our composite H{alpha}+IR based SFRs are in excellent agreement with attenuation-corrected SFRs derived from integrated spectrophotometry, over the full range of SFRs (0.01-80M_{sun}_/yr) and attenuations (0-2.5mag) studied.
The calibrations differ significantly from those obtained for HII regions, with the difference attributable to a more evolved population of stars heating the dust. Our results are consistent with a significant component of diffuse dust (the "IR cirrus" component) that is heated by a non-star-forming population.
