We apply a recently developed technique of mid-infrared spectral decomposition to obtain a uniform set of PAH measurements from Spitzer low-resolution spectra of a large sample of star-forming galaxies spanning a wide range in stellar mass (M_*_~10^6^-10^11.4^M_{sun}_) and star formation rate (~0.1-2000M_{sun}_/yr). High-resolution spectra are also analyzed to measure [NeII]12.8{mu}m and [NeIII]15.6{mu}m, which effectively trace the Lyman continuum. We present a new relation between PAH luminosity and star formation rate based on the [NeII] and [NeIII] lines. Calibrations are given for the integrated 5-15{mu}m PAH emission, the individual features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.3{mu}m, as well as several mid- infrared bandpasses sensitive to PAH. We confirm that PAH emission is suppressed in low-mass dwarf galaxies, and we discuss the possible physical origin of this effect.2019ApJ...884..136Xhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/884/136CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/511/639 : Abundances in blue compact galaxies (Izotov+, 1999)J/ApJ/522/113 : 1Jy IRAS galaxies optical spectroscopy (Veilleux+, 1999)J/ApJ/648/987 : UV through far-IR analysis of M81 (Perez-Gonzalez+, 2006)J/ApJ/671/323 : Spitzer Spectra of a 10mJy galaxy sample (Houck+, 2007)J/ApJ/656/770 : Mid-IR spectrum of star-forming galaxies (Smith+, 2007)J/ApJ/686/127 : Starbursts luminosities based on PAH (Weedman+, 2008)J/ApJ/703/517 : The Spitzer Local Volume Legacy: IR photometry (Dale+, 2009)J/ApJ/703/1672 : Far-IR and H{alpha} fluxes in galaxies (Kennicutt+, 2009)J/ApJ/705/885 : PAH in galaxies at z~0.1 (O'Dowd+, 2009)J/ApJ/692/556 : Star forming galaxy templates (Rieke+, 2009)J/ApJ/701/1398 : SFR for starburst galaxies (Sargsyan+, 2009)J/ApJ/714/1256 : Far-IR star formation rate indicators (Calzetti+, 2010)J/ApJ/719/1191 : Mid-IR indicators of SF and AGN in galaxies (Treyer+, 2010)J/ApJ/741/79 : The Spitzer-SDSS-GALEX Spectroscopic Survey (O'Dowd+, 2011)J/ApJ/819/L27 : Stellar masses of optical & IR QSO hosts (Zhang+, 2016)J/ApJ/847/136 : H{beta} to N2 line fluxes of nearby galaxies (Brown+, 2017)J/ApJ/870/104 : 1-500um obs. of nearby luminous IR galaxies (Shangguan+, 2019)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/884/136https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/884/136http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/884/136https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/884/136https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/884/136http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/884/136GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/884/136/sample (Physical properties (Table 1) and PAH luminosity in different bands (Table 2) of the sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/884/136/sample?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/884/136/sample?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/884/136/sample?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true232.838683347.02345280.0055555555555555565/1828 6/5359 5741 5744 5752 5765 5767 5773 5926 5932 6011 6046 6069 6070 6071 6073 6075 6076 6077 6078 6112 6114 6120 6419 6605 7281 7301 7303 7318 7319 9072 9085 9182 9209 9341 9342 9483 9504 9505 9510 9513 9516 9740 9741 9743 9752 9754 9763 9766 9770 9841 9924 9960 9975 10061 10062 10063 10072 10075 10096 10097 10121 10123 10130 10152 10183 10561 10669 10689 11125 11127 11217 11258 11259 11353 11355 11380 11381 11382 11388 11389 11445 11457 11472 11497 11499 11590 11783 11786 11788 11789 11808 12402 17075 17264 23078 23566 25594 26087 26937 28393 30008 31081 31258 31303 35576 36756 36781 37506 43754 46079 46192 47509https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/884/136?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/884/136/samplePhysical properties (Table 1) and PAH luminosity in different bands (Table 2) of the sampleSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharClassGalaxy type (G1)src.classcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
