The Reliability of [C II] as a Star Formation Rate Indicator
We present a calibration of the star formation rate (SFR) as a function of the [C II] 157.74 μm luminosity for a sample of 24 star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe. In order to calibrate the SFR against the line luminosity, we rely on both GALEX FUV data, which is an ideal tracer of the unobs...
