Radial Profiles of Σ*, ΣSFR, Gas Metallicity, and Their Correlations across the Galactic Mass–Size Plane

We analyzed the global and resolved properties of approximately 1240 nearby star-forming galaxies from the MaNGA survey, comparing compact and extended galaxies—those with smaller and larger radii ( R _e ), respectively—at a fixed stellar mass ( M _* ). Compact galaxies typically exhibit lower H i g...
