NGC 4254: top left: star formation rate (from UV+TIR) in contours on a greyscale map of the total gas surface density. Contour levels are (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) 3 × 10-4 M⊙ kpc-2 pc-1. Greyscale levels are (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) M⊙ pc-2. Top right: total gas surface density contours on the molecular gas fraction ΣH2/ΣHI. Greyscale levels are (1,2,4,8,16,32,64) × 0.1. Middle left: total gas surface density contours on the star formation timescale . Greyscale levels are (1,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100) 10 Myr. Middle right: star formation rate
as a function of the molecular gas surface density ΣH2. The vertical set of points at the lowest Σmol are upper limits for Σmol. Lower left: star formation rate
as a function of the atomic gas surface density ΣHI. Lower right: star formation rate
as a function of the total gas surface density Σg = ΣH2 + ΣHI. The solid line corresponds to a star formation timescale of t∗ = 2 Gyr. The arrow takes into account the CO detection limit.
