Resolved KS relation for the ensemble of VERTICO galaxies at a resolution of 720 pc (left) and for the data convolved to a linear resolution of 1.2 kpc (right). Only galaxies with i < 80° have been selected, excluding edge-on targets, in order to avoid absorption and strong projection effects. Color code shows increasing point density. Contours show the corresponding KS relation using the sub-sample of field galaxies extracted from the HERACLES survey. We note that values for Σ_SFR and Σ_mol have been corrected to face-on via cos i.
