The Mitchell Spectrograph: Studying Nearby Galaxies with the VIRUS Prototype
Figure 4
(a) Maps of the HI 21 cm, CO (1-0), and H emission (from left to right) from the THINGS [83], BIMA-SONG [84], and VENGA [29] surveys used in Blanc et al. [17] to study the spatially resolved SFL in the central 4 kpc of NGC 5194. (b) The HI, H2, and total SFL as measured by Blanc et al. [17]. Each blue dot corresponds to a single Mitchell Spectrograph fiber. Upper limits are shown in red and dotted lines show lines of constant depletion time. The best-fit relations are also shown as well as the corresponding best-fit parameters.
