a large sample of galaxies with the NRAO VLA Sky Survey [NVSS, @1998AJ....115.1693C] and the Infrared Astronomical Satellite [IRAS, @1984ApJ...278L...1N] data, suggesting the FRC spanned for 4 orders of magnitude. They spotted a marginal tendency for higher FIR-to-radio flux ratios for dwarf galaxies. However, as their sample is FIR selected, it is potentially biased towards strong FIR sources, leaving the issue unresolved. @2008ApJ...676..970W also used the NVSS data but focusing on a sample of 28 Spitzer [@2004ApJS..154....1W] 24[$\,\mathrm{\mu m}$]{} detected blue compact dwarf galaxies. They found that the dwarf galaxies followed the correlation of normal star forming galaxies. carried out a focused study on dwarf galaxies with a sample of 12 galaxies within the Local Group. They were unable to make any solid conclusion as only 3 of their galaxies were detected at 2.6 GHz, though the detections did not clearly deviate from the correlation. @2012MNRAS.423L.127R used stacking techniques to overcome this low detection rate problem. They stacked the radio and FIR images of 24 dwarf galaxies, also suggesting the FRC still held for dwarf galaxies.

In this paper, we re-visit this problem by investigating individually detected dwarf galaxies with our broadband radio continuum images from the Local Volume [[$\mathrm{H}\textsc{i}$]{}]{}
