THE STAR FORMATION LAW IN NEARBY GALAXIES ON SUB-KPC SCALES
THE STAR FORMATION LAW IN NEARBY GALAXIES ON SUB-KPC SCALES
(Abridged) We present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between star formation rate surface density (SFR SD) and gas surface density (gas SD) at sub-kpc resolution in a sample of 18 nearby galaxies. We use high resolution HI data from THINGS, CO data from HERACLES and BIMA SONG, 24 micron …
