DIISC-V: Variations in Hα-to-FUV Star Formation Rate Ratios Across Star-forming Regions in Nearby Galaxies by Mansi Padave, Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Rolf A. Jansen, David A. Thilker, Jacqueline Monkiewicz, Rogier A. Windhorst

“…However, using larger apertures that include diffuse FUV emission results in an offset of 1 dex between SFR _H _α and SFR _UV , suggesting that the observed low H α -to-FUV SFR ratios in galaxies are likely caused by diffuse FUV emission, which can contribute ∼60%–90% to the total FUV flux.…”
