Dust-corrected star formation rates of galaxies. II. Combinations of ultraviolet and infrared tracers
CN Hao, RC Kennicutt, BD Johnson… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new calibrations of far-ultraviolet (FUV) attenuation as derived from the total
infrared to FUV luminosity ratio (IRX) and the FUV–near-UV (NUV) color. We find that the …
