Luminosity {nu}L_{nu}_(7.7um) for the peak luminosity of the 7.7um PAH emission feature is found to scale as log[{nu}L_{nu}_(7.7{mu}m)]=44.63(+/-0.09)+2.48(+/-0.28)log(1+z) for the most luminous starbursts observed. Empirical calibrations of {nu}L_{nu}_(7.7um) are used to determine bolometric luminosity L_IR_ and the star formation rate (SFR) for these starbursts. The most luminous starbursts found in this sample have logL_IR_=45.4(+/-0.3)+2.5(+/-0.3)log(1+z), in ergs/s, and the maximum star formation rates for starbursts in units of M_{sun}_/yr are log(SFR)=2.1(+/-0.3)+2.5(+/-0.3)log(1+z), up to z=2.5. The exponent for pure luminosity evolution agrees with optical and radio studies of starbursts but is flatter than previous results based in infrared source counts. The maximum star formation rates are similar to the maxima determined for submillimeter galaxies; the most luminous individual starburst included within the sample has logL_IR_=46.9, which gives an SFR=3.4x10^3^M_{sun}/yr. Description: In this paper, we assemble data from 14 different Spitzer/IRS (InfraRed Spectrograph) programs (listed in "Ref" column of table1) to summarize a wide variety of sources having strong PAH spectral features, providing a total of 243 sources.2008ApJ...686..127Whttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/686/127CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/701/1398 : SFR for starburst galaxies (Sargsyan+, 2009)J/ApJ/693/370 : Average Spitzer spectra for galaxies (Weedman+, 2009)J/A+A/508/117 : Spitzer selected starbursts at z~2 (Fiolet+, 2009)J/A+A/507/713 : Galaxies with strong PAH emission (Haas+, 2009)J/ApJS/184/230 : Spitzer high-resolution MIR spectral atlas (Bernard-Salas+,J/ApJ/671/323 : Spitzer Spectra of a 10mJy galaxy sample (Houck+, 2007)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/686/127https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/686/127http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/686/127https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/686/127https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/686/127http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/686/127GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/686/127/table1 (PAH luminosities for starburst galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/686/127/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/686/127/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/686/127/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true2.9301667-7.36869440.0055555555555555565/1517 1519 2286 2287 2547 6/40 388 1703 3506 4113 4120 4993 5176 5464 5560 5957 5995 6034 6046 6047 6075 6090 6112 6120 7269 7552 7724 7777 8106 8410 8419 8637 8673 9084 9135 9210 9342 9770 9879 9936 10043 10086 10134 10150 10183 10187 10200 10212 10213 10214 10317 10324 10487 10501 10512 10513 10515 10516 10518 10752 10991 11029 11101 11180 11206 11252 11623 16641 16647 16712 16882 17075 17263 17264 17564 17606 18212 18387 18809 19628 20262 20389 21016 22721 23148 25094 25279 25366 25561 25772 26047 26087 26120 26267 26292 26298 26540 26937 27362 27502 27555 27617 27873 28074 28184 28393 29937 30008 31081 31158 31258 31303 31350 34737 35675 35993 36831 37506 38139 38924 39960 43107 43233 43389 43975 44671 44753 45385 45587 46079 46130 46192 47051 47078 47509 48429 48759 490232.579800656105628e-20 2.579800656105628e-20https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/686/127?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/686/127/table1PAH luminosities for starburst galaxiesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
