Notes. Scale shown in Col. (5) corresponds to the typical physical resolution of the observations. (1) Average extinction correction of AV = 2.2 mag based on measurements from Calzetti et al. (2007). (2) Luminosities are corrected from extinction using stellar E(BV) values from SED fitting. The extinction of the stars is then re-scaled to the extinction of the gas using the standard recipe AHα = 7.4 E(BV), where E(BV)stars = 0.44 E(BV)gas from Calzetti et al. (2000). (3) Average extinction of AV = 2.9 mag from Takata et al. (2006). (4) Luminosities are corrected from extinction using stellar E(BV) values from SED fitting. The extinction of the stars is then re-scaled to the extinction of the gas using the recipe E(BV)stars = 0.83 E(BV)gas from Kashino et al. (2013).
