Abstract |
An accurate estimation of star formation (SF) properties of galaxies is crucial for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. In the galaxies, ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the newly formed stars is attenuated by dust and it is re-emitted at infrared (IR). In this study, we estimated the star formation-related properties of Local galaxies using UV and IR data. We set the IR selected- and UV selected-galaxy sample and investigated the effect of galaxy selection. We find that SF activity cannot be estimated without taking into account the effect of dust extinction in both IR and UV selected-samples. |
