Notes.

^(a)

Assuming IRAC flux = WISE W1 flux (±5%);

^(b)

if not available, then SFR(FUV), or as last choice SFR(TIR);

^(c)

based on a linear combination IRAC 8 μm, MIPS 24 μm, MIPS 70 μm, and MIPS 160 μm luminosities;

^(d)

based on a linear combination MIPS 24 μm, PACS 70 μm, and PACS 100 μm luminosities.
