Comparisons between SFRs estimated through (a) the extinction-dependent and extinction-independent relations of Eq. (4) (Table 1) which utilize WISE bands 1 and 3, b) calibrations based only on WISE band-3 (Jarrett et al. 2013; Chang et al. 2015; Cluver et al. 2017), and (c) based on SED fitting from Chang et al. (2015), Salim et al. (2018) and MPA-JHU (Kauffmann et al. 2003; Brinchmann et al. 2004; Tremonti et al. 2004). In each subplot, the ordinate indicates the logarithm of the ratio (log (SFRy/SFRx)) between the compared SFR estimations, and the abscissa the logarithm of the SFR as indicated in the axes labels. Red error bars represent the modes and 68% percentiles of the distribution of galaxies within bins of log SFR/M⊙ yr−1 ≃ 0.4 (12 bins within the range −2.5 < log SFR/M⊙ yr−1 < 2.5). The log SFRy/SFRx modes and 68% percentiles for all the galaxies compared in each panel are shown at the top of each subplot. The points are color-coded based on the logarithm of the absolute value of the equivalent width (EW) of the Hα line of the galaxies. The black dashed line represents equality.
