Summary of the PCA fit of the ΔSFMSg- log(SFEb) and ΔSFMSg- log(fmol,b) relationships for centrally star-forming (⟨WHα,b⟩ > 6 Å) and centrally retired galaxies (⟨WHα,b⟩ < 6 Å) (or globally star-forming, ⟨WHα,g⟩ > 6 Å, and globally retired galaxies, ⟨WHα,g⟩ < 6 Å) for different galaxy sub-samples or quantity calculations.

Notes. “Best” indicates the entire galaxy datasets with molecular gas masses calculated using a variable αCO, for which results are shown in Fig. 4; for SN > 3, only the detections are considered; “Const. αCO” represents the whole galaxy sample, where a constant αCO is used to convert CO luminosities into molecular gas masses; “Only APEX” marks the fit results when only the APEX data are used. In the columns, m and q indicate slope and intercept of the relations, respectively, inferred from PCA; ⟨ΔSFMSg⟩, ⟨log (SFEb)⟩, and ⟨log(fmol,b)⟩ show the medians of global ΔSFMS, beam SFE, and beam fmol of the distributions, respectively; rp and rs are the Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients, respectively. For most of the correlation realizations we obtain p-values largely below 10−5 from both correlation tests, except for ΔSFMSg-SFEb relations for the centrally star-forming galaxies, for which we measure Pearson p-values of the order of 10−2 and Spearman p-values of the order of 10−1. The uncertainties are obtained by 1000 bootstrap iterations of the PCA fit, and are provided as 75th –50th percentiles and 50th –25th percentiles of the m and q distributions.
