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 …

PRIMUS: constraints on star formation quenching and galaxy merging, and the evolution of the stellar mass function from z= 0–1

The relation between Star Formation Rate and Stellar Mass for Galaxies at 3.5⩽ z⩽ 6.5 in CANDELS

B Salmon, C Papovich, SL Finkelstein… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Distant star-forming galaxies show a correlation between their star formation rates (SFRs)
and stellar masses, and this has deep implications for galaxy formation. Here, we present a …
