Fig. 3
Upper panel: comparison between the SFR and the observed [C ii] luminosity for different rings in the Milky Way. The dashed straight line represents a fit to the data while the solid straight line is the relationship between the SFR and [C ii] luminosity fitted by de Looze et al. (2011) for a set of nearby galaxies. Lower panel: comparison between the SFR surface density and the [C ii] luminosity per unit area. The dashed straight line represents a fit to the data.
