Figure 11. 1.4 GHz radio (left and middle panel) and FIR (right panel) luminosity as a function of SFR, derived via SED fitting to the NUV-NIR SDSS photometry (see the text for details). In the three large panels different galaxy types (symbols) and samples (indicated above and in each panel) are shown. The gray-scale histogram in each plot shows the distribution of star-forming galaxies for a given sample. Superimposed on the plots (dashed lines) are calibrations converting radio and FIR luminosity to SFR (Yun et al. 2001; Kennicutt 1998).
