Notes. Columns: reference, spectral line, bandwidth, number and period of observations, type, location, and dimensions of the analysed region, the pixel scale, and the type of relation derived. Dashes denote missing information.

(a)

These studies did not derive the functional form of the relation, they simply binned the available datapoints with respect to the magnetic field strength. We note however that the results they presented are approximately consistent with a power-law function.
