Comparison between star-formation rates derived from SED fitting (SFRSED) and from the extinction-corrected Hα luminosity (SFRHα), for different calculations of the extinction coefficient c(Hβ) for the galaxies without an available Balmer decrement. From left to right: E(BV)gas = E(BV)stellar (Reddy et al. 2010); E(BV)gas = E(BV)stellar + E(BV)extra (Wuyts et al. 2013); E(BV)gas = E(BV)stellar/ 0.44 (Calzetti et al. 2000). In the last panel, the orange crosses represent the galaxies with Balmer decrement available, for which the SFRHα are consistent with the SFRSED and no systematic trend is observed.
