Percentage of ultraviolet light generated by massive young clusters vs. rate of star formation in units of ﹩M_{\odot }﹩ yr−1 kpc−2. The diagonal line shows that the fraction of a galaxy’s light emitted by massive young clusters is approximately proportional to the star formation rate per unit area to the power of 1.2.
