rKS diagram of the Cosmic Snake at different spatial scales. Each panel corresponds to a given bin size in the source plane, as indicated. The contours plotted in the first two panels are kernel density estimates of the data. The five different contours correspond (from inside to outside) to 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% iso-proportions of the density. The black line is the rKS slope obtained by Pessa et al. (2021) at the closest spatial scale to ours (n_100 pc = 1.06, n_500 pc = 1.06, and n_1 kpc = 1.03), with the grey shaded area showing the corresponding scatter (σ_100 pc = 0.41, σ_500 pc = 0.33, and σ_1 kpc = 0.27). The datapoints are coloured according to their galactocentric distance, as shown in the colour bars. The orange squares correspond to the ΣSFR means of datapoints within six ΣM_mol bins with and equal number of datapoints. Reported in the upper left corner is the scatter (σ) of the datapoints with respect to the fits from Pessa et al. (2021), as well as the slopes (n) obtained from a linear fitting for the bin sizes between 200 pc and 1600 pc.
