Scientific paper

We report on the survey design, available data, and first outcomes from the Star Formation Reference Survey, a program designed to systematically elucidate the properties of star forming galaxies. By controlling for both total and specific star formation rate together with dust temperature, we have assembled a large infrared-selected galaxy sample that is fully representative of all conditions under which star formation occurs in the local Universe. A rich dataset spanning multiple bands from the UV to the mid-IR and into the radio is now being used to assess the reliabilty and systematics of the star formation rate indicators commonly used in the literature, with an eye toward establishing a firmer baseline for the interpretation of faint, distant sources from deep infrared surveys.
This work was supported by NASA grant number 1256790, administered by JPL.
