cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesinfrared-sourcesinterstellar-mediumsurveysSpitzer data at 24, 70, and 160um and ground-based H{alpha} images are analyzed for a sample of 189 nearby star-forming and starburst galaxies to investigate whether reliable star formation rate (SFR) indicators can be defined using the monochromatic infrared dust emission centered at 70 and 160um. We compare recently published recipes for SFR measures using combinations of the 24um and observed H{alpha} luminosities with those using 24um luminosity alone. From these comparisons, we derive a reference SFR indicator for use in our analysis. Linear correlations between SFR and the 70um and 160um luminosity are found for L(70)>~1.4x10^42^erg/s and L(160)>~2x10^42^erg/s, corresponding to SFR>~0.1-0.3M_{sun}_/yr, and calibrations of SFRs based on L(70) and L(160) are proposed. Below those two luminosity limits, the relation between SFR and 70um (160um) luminosity is nonlinear and SFR calibrations become problematic. A more important limitation is the dispersion of the data around the mean trend, which increases for increasing wavelength.2010ApJ...714.1256Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/714/1256CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/hst : HST Archived Exposures Catalog (STScI, 2007)J/ApJ/706/599 : H{alpha} and UV SFR in the local volume (Lee+, 2009)J/ApJ/703/1672 : Far-IR and H{alpha} fluxes in galaxies (Kennicutt+, 2009)J/ApJ/703/517 : The Spitzer Local Volume Legacy: IR photometry (Dale+, 2009)J/ApJ/701/1398 : SFR for starburst galaxies (Sargsyan+, 2009)J/ApJS/178/247 : H{alpha} and [NII] survey in local 11 Mpc (Kennicutt+, 2008)J/ApJ/648/987 : UV through far-IR analysis of M81 (Perez-Gonzalez+, 2006)J/ApJS/164/81 : Spectrophotometry of nearby galaxies (Moustakas+, 2006)J/ApJS/153/429 : SDSS strong emission line HII galaxies (Kniazev+, 2004)J/A+A/414/23 : CCD H{alpha} and R photometry of 334 galaxies (James+, 2004)J/AJ/128/2170 : H{alpha} imaging of irregular galaxies (Hunter+, 2004)J/ApJS/147/29 : BRHalpha data of blue compact dwarf galaxies (Gil De Paz+,J/ApJS/105/93 : H II Regions in Nearby Seyfert Galaxies (Evans+ 1996)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/714/1256https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/714/1256http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/714/1256https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/714/1256https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/714/1256http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/714/1256GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/714/1256/table1 (Properties of normal star-forming and starburst galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/714/1256/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/714/1256/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/714/1256/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true23.7693-41.43620.0055555555555555566/816 2320 3389 3506 4147 4447 4511 5181 5203 5230 5329 5492 5556 5607 5636 5715 5751 5793 5799 5950 6011 6034 6042 6419 6604 6605 6609 7241 7281 7424 7460 7504 7602 7604 7606 7607 7624 7743 7769 7799 7946 7956 7970 8028 8106 8492 8908 10561 10607 10659 10755 10761 10762 10769 10799 10841 10856 10901 10911 10970 10976 10979 11019 11027 11092 11120 11140 11143 11180 11263 11434 11457 11696 11933 11943 11961 11965 13522 15592 16441 16519 16595 17165 17594 17662 18398 18809 19990 20061 20388 22841 23078 23566 24912 24952 25083 25169 25594 25946 26142 26271 26858 26971 27030 27465 27512 27514 27555 27604 27830 27861 27914 27937 28015 28035 28039 28123 28147 28149 28167 28173 28184 28496 28510 28610 28631 29718 33958 33966 33986 34401 34404 34471 34641 35243 35576 35993 36194 36241 36756 36974 38390 38821 38829 38846 40124 43420 43754 43845 43874 43881 45518 45732 46399 46545 46786https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/714/1256?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/714/1256/table1Properties of normal star-forming and starburst galaxiesSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
