Synchrotron spectral index and its relationship with star formation and magnetic field strength. Top: Synchrotron spectral index obtained at different frequency intervals (α[0.1 − 1.4], α[1.4 − 4.8] and α[0.1 − 4.8]) versus star formation surface density ΣSFR (M⊙ yr−1 kpc−2). Lines show bisector OLS fits. Middle: Same spectral indices versus the total magnetic field strength. Bottom: Synchrotron spectral index α[1.4 − 4.8] versus magnetic field after compensating both for the effect of the SFR.
