Star formation scaling relations studied here colour-coded by the median equivalent width of Hα (WHα, upper row) and morphology (lower row), from left to right SFR-M*, SFR-Mmol, and MmolM*. In the left panel, the elements follow Fig. 5; additionally, the dotted lines are spaced of 3σ from each other. In the middle panel, the black solid line indicates a constant molecular depletion time τdep = 2 Gyr, additionally, dotted lines show constant τdep from (top to bottom) 10−5 to 107 Gyr. In the right panel, the black line indicates a constant molecular gas-to-stellar mass fmol = 0.1; additionally, the dotted lines show constant fmol from (bottom to top) 10−5 to 104. The triangles in the middle and right panels illustrate galaxies for which upper limits for the molecular gas mass are used. At the bottom right of each panel the typical (median) uncertainty for the quantities is shown. In the upper row, the pentagons show the positions of the wAGN-hosts in the sample, while the stars show the positions of sAGN-hosts. In the lower row, the dark blue dots show the locations of the SAB/SB galaxies. Spiral star-forming galaxies on the one hand and early-type retired galaxies on the other hand describe well-defined relationships across the three diagrams.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
