Fig. 7
Star formation rates (PAH- and TIR-derived) vs. total gas surface densities (i.e. KS law) for CO-detected galaxies. Solid black lines and shaded grey regions show the Kennicutt (1998) relation for local star-forming galaxies (with power-law index n = 1.4) and its intrinsic scatter, respectively. Solid and dashed red lines show the best linear fits with free and fixed (n = 1.4) slope, respectively. The galaxy located in the top right of each panel is NGC 1266, which is known to have strongly suppressed star formation. It was excluded from the fits.
