Table 3.
Summary of expectations and observations for the different scenarios of galaxy evolution in the main sequence framework.
| Expected | Observed | |
|---|---|---|
| Scenario 1 | In the MS higher gas content related to more compact star-forming region than lower gas content. | In the MS the lowest gas content related to the most compact star-forming region. |
| Scenario 2 | Compact star-forming region well above the MS related to higher gas content and in the MS related to lower gas content. | In the MS the lowest gas content related to more compact star-forming region than well above the MS with higher gas content. |
| Scenario 3 | In the MS higher gas content related to more extended star-forming region than lower gas content. The less amount of gas in the galaxy, the more compact the star-forming region becomes. | |
Notes. This table summarizes the main expectations and some important observed aspects with respect to the gas content and the sizes of the star-forming regions. We note that for Scenario 3 expectations and observations are the same, as this scenario is motivated to match the observations in this work.
