H𝛽 Emissions
Finkbeiner et al. 2003
Assuming Constant SFR: SFR(H𝜷) Indicator traces stars with lifetimes of ~3-10 Myr
Ultra Violet (UV) Light
JPL-NASA
Assuming Constant SFR: SFR(FUV) Indicator traces stars with lifetimes of ~10-100 Myr
Figure 1 in (Star)bursts of FIRE…Sparre et al. 2017
Bursty Non-Bursty
Suggest: Best fit time scale ~4Myr for both the Bursty and Non-Bursty SFRs
Suggest: Best fit time scale ~10Myr for Bursty SFRs and for Non-Bursty SFRs maybe ~20-30 Myr
