We obtained expressions for star formation rates in local compact star-forming galaxies from the SDSS Data Release 16 using luminosities in forbidden emission lines [O II] 372.7 nm, [Ne III] 386.8 nm, [O III] 495.9 nm, [O III] 500.7 nm and their combinations. For this purpose the star formation rates derived from forbidden lines are assumed to be equal to those derived from the Hβ emission line. The reason for such approach is that the observations of Hβ emission are not always possible. For example, this line appears outside the spectrum in the optical range in galaxies with redshifts z > 1. [O II] 372.7 nm, [Ne III] 386.8 nm emission lines and their combination can be used in this case to derive star formation rates. On the other hand, there is a large number of studies of very faint objects with the use of the low-resolution spectra, in which Hβ emission line is blended with stronger [O III] 495.9 nm, [O III] 500.7 nm emission lines. In these cases [O III] lines and their combination can be used for the determination of the star formation rate. Obtained expressions can be applied for compact star-forming galaxies in a broad range of redshifts.
