Comparison of the observed gas velocity dispersion and star formation rate to expectations from analytical models from Krumholz et al. (2018). Left panel: different expectations from the model considering only gravitational instabilities as the driver of turbulence assuming fiducial parameters for high-z galaxies (solid lines). Right panel: different expectations from the model considering only stellar feedback as the driver of turbulence (solid lines). The models (solid lines) are colour-coded according to the maximum circular speed of the galaxies. We show our galaxies (Roman-Oliveira et al. 2023) and other resolved observations from the literature (Fraternali et al. 2021; Rizzo et al. 2021; Lelli et al. 2021) according to the legend.
