Star formation rates of star-forming galaxies from the WISE all-sky survey

We explore correlations between extinction-corrected Hα, Hβ and ${\rm [O\,{II}]_{double}}$ luminosities versus 12- and 22-μm band luminosities, based on matching samples from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). All the coefficients show strong correlations between Balmer lines and mid-infrared (MIR) luminosities, while the extinction-corrected ${...
