Notes. Monochromatic: log ΣSFR = log Cband + k × log Sband; hybrid: log ΣSFR = log Cband1 + log [Sband1 + kband1−band2 × Sband2], with ΣSFR in M yr-1 kpc-2, S defined as νSν in W kpc-2, and C in M yr-1 W-1. Empirical estimators were calibrated on individual star-forming regions on typical scales of the order of ~200500 pc.

(a)

Based on Starburst99 (Leitherer et al. 1999).

(b)

Extinction corrected, calibrated against near-infrared hydrogen recombinations lines (e.g., Paα or Brγ).
