MESS: Multi-wavelength Extreme Starburst Sample

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Description

This paper introduces the Multi-wavelength Extreme Starburst Sample (MESS), a new catalog of 138 star-forming galaxies (0.1<z<0.3) optically selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using emission line strength diagnostics to have a high absolute star formation rate (SFR; minimum 11M_{sun}_/yr with median SFR~61M_{sun}_/yr based on a Kroupa initial mass function). The MESS was designed to complement samples of nearby star-forming galaxies such as the luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) and ultraviolet luminous galaxies (UVLGs).

Observations using the Multi-band Imaging Photometer (24, 70, and 160um channels) on the Spitzer Space Telescope indicate that the MESS galaxies have IR luminosities similar to those of LIRGs, with an estimated median total IR luminosity L_IR_=~3x10^11^L_{sun}_.
