Context. IRAS observations show the existence of a correlation between the infrared luminosity LIR and dust temperature Td in star-forming galaxies, in which larger LIR leads to higher dust temperature. The LIR–Td relation is commonly seen as reflecting the increase in dust temperature in galaxies with higher star formation rate (SFR). Even though the correlation shows a significant amount of dispersion, a unique relation has been commonly used to construct spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies in distant universe studies, such as source number counting or photometric redshift determination.
