PHANGS-MUSE sample in the M_⋆ − SFR plane. Left: PHANGS sample compared with the population of local galaxies from z0MGS (Leroy et al. 2019, small grey dots). The large red circles represent the PHANGS-MUSE galaxies. We show the overlap with the ALMA (blue dots) and HST (black empty squares) components of the PHANGS project. The dashed line is the best fit to the SFMS from Leroy et al. (2019). Right: PHANGS-MUSE sample compared to two complementary projects, EDGE-CALIFA (Bolatto et al. 2017) and ALMaQUEST (Lin et al. 2020), which also target local galaxies with optical IFS and CO interferometric mapping. The dashed line is the best fit to the SFMS from Leroy et al. (2019) with associated scatter (grey shaded area).
