Abstract

Using a complete sample of ~300 star-forming galaxies within 11Mpc of the Milky Way, we evaluate the consistency between star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from the far ultraviolet (FUV) non-ionizing continuum and H{alpha} nebular emission, assuming standard conversion recipes in which the SFR scales linearly with luminosity at a given wavelength. Our analysis probes SFRs over 5 orders of magnitude, down to ultra-low activities on the order of ~10^-4^M_{sun}_/yr. The data are drawn from the 11Mpc H{alpha} and Ultraviolet Galaxy Survey (11HUGS), which has obtained H{alpha} fluxes from ground-based narrowband imaging, and UV fluxes from imaging with GALEX.
