The spatially resolved correlation between [NII] 205<i>μ</i>m line emission and the 24<i>μ</i>m continuum in nearby galaxies

The spatially resolved correlation between [NII] 205<i>μ</i>m line emission and the 24<i>μ</i>m continuum in nearby galaxies

A correlation between the 24 {\mu}m continuum and the [NII] 205 {\mu}m line emission may arise if both quantities trace the star formation activity on spatially-resolved scales within a galaxy, yet has so far only been observed in the nearby edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891. We therefore assess whether the …
