Calibrating Mid-infrared Emission Features as Diagnostics of Star Formation in Infrared-luminous Galaxies via Radiative Transfer Modeling
Luminous infrared (IR) galaxies are key sites of obscured stellar mass assembly at z > 0.5. Their star formation rates (SFRs) are often estimated using the luminosities of the 6.2 and 11.2 μm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features or those of the [Ne II] and [Ne III] fine-structure lines, as they are minimally affected by obscuration. It is
