Star Formation Rate Indicators in Wide-Field Infrared Survey Preliminary Release

With the goal of investigating the degree at which the MIR luminosity in the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) traces the SFR, we analyse 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 μ m data in a sample of ~140,000 star-forming galaxies or star-forming regions covering a wide range in metallicity 7.66 < 12 + lo...
