13CO derived α12CO(1 − 0)LTE We estimate the conversion factor under LTE assumptions using the 12CO(1–0) and 13CO(1–0) emission. We perform two iterations: (i) keeping the conditions fixed across the galaxy apart from the R13/12 ratio and (ii) varying the 13CO excitation temperature,Tex, the beam filling factor ratio, η12/η13, and the 13CO abundance between disk and center using a sigmoid function. Top three panels: variation of input parameters for α12CO(1−0) derivation. Bottom Panel: radial Trend in . Grey points indicate measurements under fixed conditions. Red points indicate
assuming a variation of the input parameters as shown in the top three panels. The blue line shows the radial trend derived from the scatter minimization technique.
