cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesinfrared-sourcessurveysinfrared-photometryvisible-astronomysloan-photometryStar formation is arguably the most important physical process in the cosmos. It is a fundamental driver of galaxy evolution and the ultimate source of most of the energy emitted by galaxies. A correct interpretation of star formation rate (SFR) measures is therefore essential to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. Unfortunately, however, no single SFR estimator is universally available or even applicable in all circumstances: the numerous galaxies found in deep surveys are often too faint (or too distant) to yield significant detections with most standard SFR measures, and until now there have been no global, multi-band observations of nearby galaxies that span all the conditions under which star-formation is taking place. To address this need in a systematic way, we have undertaken a multi-band survey of all types of star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. This project, the Star Formation Reference Survey (SFRS), is based on a statistically valid sample of 369 nearby galaxies that span all existing combinations of dust temperature, SFR, and specific SFR. Furthermore, because the SFRS is blind with respect to AGN fraction and environment it serves as a means to assess the influence of these factors on SFR. Our panchromatic global flux measurements (including GALEX FUV+NUV, SDSS ugriz, 2MASS JHKs, Spitzer 3-8um, and others) furnish uniform SFR measures and the context in which their reliability can be assessed. This paper describes the SFRS survey strategy, defines the sample, and presents the multi-band photometry collected to date.2011PASP..123.1011Ahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/PASP/123/1011CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/221 : PSCz catalog (Saunders+, 2000)II/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)II/294 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 7 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2009)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/123/1011https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/123/1011http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/123/1011https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/123/1011https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/123/1011http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/123/1011GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/PASP/123/1011/SFRS (Basic parameters, radio, far-IR, visible/near-IR photometry for SFRS sample galaxies (tables 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9 of the paper))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/123/1011/SFRS?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/123/1011/SFRS?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/123/1011/SFRS?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true120.087416726.61352780.0055555555555555566/4138 4147 4149 4157 4268 4314 4342 4355 4359 4421 4447 4452 4471 4487 4505 4514 4531 4575 4631 4671 4695 4718 4733 4756 4815 4834 4839 4858 4891 4922 4930 4953 4966 4993 5006 5028 5071 5082 5086 5092 5102 5113 5116 5122 5148-5149 5151 5162 5169 5174 5181-5182 5205 5241 5244 5255 5299 5332 5336 5428 5469-5470 5503 5523 5541 5558 5565 5590 5593-5594 5647 5665 5669 5757 5770 5810 5818 5822 5865 5867 5890 5941 5955 5976 5988-5989 6011 6014 6028 6042 6046 6050 6063 6071 6095 6098 6104 6212-6213 6411 6426 6432 6448 6450 6525 6604-6605 6623 6649 7170 7177 7234 7282 7295 8441 8443 8498 8509 8526-8527 8535 8557 8648 8673 8679 8740 8750 8752 8824 8832 8845 8922 8950 8997 9124 9129 9170 9190 9220 9244 9248 9328 9351 9354 9455 9463 9471 9750 9753 9786 9791 9829-9830 9885 9894-9895 10130 10144 10152 10256 10265 10281 10330 10332 10338 10342 10348 10364 10402 10404 10419 10433 10439 10454 10465 10475 10490 10517-10518 10529 10553 10556 10563 10574 10628 10632 10637-10638 10652 10674 10705 10716 10739-10740 10765 10769 10781 10858 10888 10901 10965 11010 11018 11029 11041 11051 11093 11100-11101 11112 11127 11144 11158 11164 11180 11191 11206 11232 11273 11314 11317 11372 11394 11408 11421 11434 11448 11450 11460 11490 25935 25960 26195 26198 26217 26223 26260 26264-26265 26267 26292 26294 26298 26317-26318 26329-26330 26344 26377 26385 26393 26407 26414-26415 26421 26433 26457 26488 26515 26580 26584 26619 26971 26983 27002 27004 27085 27090 27106 27135 27292 27329 27331 27339 27347 27439 27477 27555 27560 27587 27591 27603 27620 27650 27653 27668 27682 27719 27731 27738 27750 27757 27763 27765 27767 27803 27806 27814 27823 27830 27857 27859 27863 27866 27889 27891 27893 27898 27901 27906 27909 27913 27917 27928 27939 27942 27967 28017 28023 28033 28041 28077 28126 28134 28147 28189 28234 28250-28251 28254 28258 28263 28272 28275 28278 28294 28299 28393 28408 28435 28463-28464 28476 28479 28490 28495 28498 28511 28517 28521-28522 28524 28535 28547 28608 28612 28617 32442 324449.276497240453405e-25 6.090060298487514e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/PASP/123/1011?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/PASP/123/1011/SFRSBasic parameters, radio, far-IR, visible/near-IR photometry for SFRS sample galaxies (tables 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9 of the paper)RAJ2000Right ascension (J2000) (1)pos.eq.ra;meta.mainDEJ2000Declination (J2000) (1)pos.eq.dec;meta.mainDistDistance (2)Mpcpos.distance;pos.heliocentricfloate_Dist? rms uncertainty on DistMpcstat.errorfloatnullablee_[8.0]? rms uncertainty on [8.0] (7)magstat.errorfloatnullablerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
