Notes. Quoted uncertainties on ⟨[Z/H]⟩ and ⟨log10 Age/yr⟩ are formal errors propagated as described in the text; σint gives the intrinsic dispersion of the corresponding PDF where applicable. Errors on masses and SFRs that depend on distance are dominated by the adopted distance D = 17 ± 1.5 (stat.) ± 1.0 (syst.) Mpc. (a)MeerKAT H I mass from Serra et al. (2024). (b)3σ upper limit on the molecular H2 mass from ALMA CO(1–0) observations (Zabel et al. 2019, Appendix C.4), rescaled to our adopted distance. (c)Warm H2 mass lower limit from the Spitzer/IRS analysis of Sivanandam et al. (2014), assuming OPR of 1.5. (d)Dust masses from the two-component modified-blackbody fit to the IRS LL + Herschel SED (Appendix C.3), measured within an aperture comparable to the μ0+1 isophote. The total dust mass may be larger by up to a factor of ~2 if the cold component follows the more extended 20–38 μm emission out to μ0+1. (e)Values rescaled to the adopted distance of 17 ± 2.5 Mpc; quoted uncertainties include distance contributions.
