Dust-corrected star formation rates of galaxies. II. Combinations of ultraviolet and infrared tracers

CN Hao, RC Kennicutt, BD Johnson… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new calibrations of far-ultraviolet (FUV) attenuation as derived from the total
infrared to FUV luminosity ratio (IRX) and the FUV–near-UV (NUV) color. We find that the …

The large, oxygen-rich halos of star-forming galaxies are a major reservoir of galactic metals

J Tumlinson, C Thom, JK Werk, JX Prochaska… - Science, 2011 - science.org
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is fed by galaxy outflows and accretion of intergalactic
gas, but its mass, heavy element enrichment, and relation to galaxy properties are poorly …
