SFR surface density as a function of the molecular gas surface density. The values are calculated for the NE cloud, the SW cloud, the total area where CO is detected (see Fig. 3 for the apertures), as well as for smaller apertures centred on the peaks of the 8 μm emission in the NE cloud (see Fig. 6 for the apertures, labelled here NL, NN and NS for the largest aperture, northern and southern apertures, respectively). The data of VCC 2062 compared to the results of a spatially resolved analysis of HERACLES galaxies (Bigiel et al. 2011). The black dots are their data points obtained at a 1 kpc angular resolution, the solid black line shows their best-fit relation obtained and the dashed line its standard deviation.
