Abstract:
We show that measures of star formation rates (SFRs) for infrared
galaxies using either single-band 24um or extinction-corrected
Paα luminosities are consistent in the total infrared luminosity
=L(IR)∼1010L{☉} range. As a part of this work, we constructed
spectral energy distribution templates for eleven luminous and
ultraluminous purely star forming infrared galaxies and over the
spectral range 0.4um to 30cm. We use these templates and the SINGS
data to construct average templates from 5um to 30cm for infrared
galaxies with L(IR)=5x109 to 1013L{☉}.
Description:
We assembled SED templates for 11 local luminous and ultraluminous
purely star forming infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs). Our sample
is IRAS 12112+0305, IRAS 14348-1447, IRAS 22491-1808, and Arp 220, all
of which were studied by Armus et al. (2007ApJ...656..148A 2007ApJ...656..148A) and thus
with high quality Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra, plus IRAS
17208-0014 where a usable spectrum is available from the ISO
(Rigopoulou et al. 1999AJ....118.2625R 1999AJ....118.2625R). We selected LIRGs from a
sample originally selected for Paα imaging with NICMOS (and
hence over a restricted range of redshift) and to represent a full
range of SED properties. They are NGC 1614, NGC 2369, NGC 3256,
ESO 0320-g030, and Zw 049.057 (Alonso-Herrero et al.
2006ApJ...650..835A 2006ApJ...650..835A), plus NGC 4194.
