Star Formation Laws and Efficiencies across 80 Nearby Galaxies

Star Formation Laws and Efficiencies across 80 Nearby Galaxies

We measure empirical relationships between the local star formation rate (SFR) and properties of the star-forming molecular gas on 1.5 kpc scales across 80 nearby galaxies. These relationships, commonly referred to as “star formation laws,” aim at predicting the local SFR surface density from variou...
