Dust attenuation and star formation in the nearby universe: the ultraviolet and far-infrared points of view

Abstract

We make use of the on-going All Imaging Survey of the UV GALEX satellite cross-correlated with the IRAS all sky survey to build samples of galaxies trully selected in far-infrared or in ultraviolet. We discuss the amount of dust attenuation and the star formation rates for these galaxies and compare the properties of the galaxies selected in FIR or in UV.
