Comparison of SFRs from the observed fluxes of Spitzer (blue, VIPERS) and WISE-4 (red, GSWLC) using the BOSA templates with SFRs derived from CIGALE. The limits, computed for the redshift limits of VIPERS and GSWLC, above which WISE-3 (blue area), WISE-4 (orange area), and Spitzer 24 μm (green area) can be used to reliably estimate the SFR are shown (dashed black lines). In units of log(SFR [M_⊙ yr⁻¹]), the limits, for increasing redshift, are: -1.9, 0.8, 1.31, and 1.8 (WISE-3), -1.3, 1.4, 1.9, and 2.2 (WISE-4), and -2.2, 0.4, 0.9, and 1.3 (Spitzer 24 μm).
