Scientific paper
We propose to study within a well selected sample of compact starbursts the relation between the X-ray luminosity and the star formation rate (SFR). Comparing the hard X-ray data to optical emission line, FIR and radio data - all indicators of the current SFR - we intend to confirm and calibrate the apparent empirical relation between X-ray luminosity and SFR. Our sample of HII galaxies is ideal for this task: there is excellent supporting data for independent measures of the SFR and, importantly, the hard X-ray emission of these low mass, high SFR systems will be dominated by SFR-tracing High Mass X-ray Binaries. The applications of hard X-rays as a largely absorption independent SFR tracer justify further analysis with high quality data such as that proposed here.
