The relationship between the star formation rate surface density and the molecular gas surface density in galaxies is key to understanding galaxy evolution. To investigate the molecular Kennicutt-Schmidt (K-S) relation and its dependence on…

Recent statistical analysis of two extragalactic observational surveys strongly indicate a sublinear Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relationship between the star formation rate (Sigsfr) and molecular gas surface density (Sigmol). Here, we consider…

We investigate the relation between star formation rate (SFR) and gas surface densities in Galactic star forming regions using a sample of YSOs and massive clumps. Our YSO sample consists of objects located in 20 molecular clouds from the…

Using N-body/gasdynamic simulations of a Milky Way-like galaxy we analyse a Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, $\Sigma_{SFR} \propto \Sigma_{gas}^N$, at different spatial scales. We simulate synthetic observations in CO lines and UV band. We adopt…

We study the star formation rate (SFR) versus molecular gas mass ($M_\mathrm{mol}$) scaling relation from hundreds to thousands parsec scales in two strongly lensed galaxies at redshift $z\sim 1$, the Cosmic Snake and A521. We trace SFR…

We have mapped the northern area (30'\times 20') of a local group spiral galaxy M33 in 12CO(1-0) line with the 45-m telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Along with Halpha and Spitzer 24-micron data, we have investigated the…

This study examines the resolved Kennicutt Schmidt (rKS) relation, defined as the connection between the star formation rate surface density (Sigma SFR) and the molecular gas mass surface density (Sigma H2) in the high-density central…

We have mapped the northern area (30' times 20') of a local group spiral galaxy M33 in 12CO(J=1-0) line with the 45-m telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Along with Halpha and Spitzer 24-micron data, we have investigated the…

The Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relationship between the surface density of the star formation rate (SFR) and the gas surface density has three distinct power laws that may result from one model in which gas collapses at a fixed fraction of the…

The Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation between the gas and the star formation rate (SFR) surface density ($\Sigma_{\rm gas}$-$\Sigma_{\rm SFR}$) is essential to understand star formation processes in galaxies. So far, it has been measured up…

The star formation rate per unit area correlates well with the gas surface density for different types of galaxies. However, this Kennicutt-Schmidt law has not yet been examined for a large, homogeneously selected sample of SMGs, which…

We estimate the parameters of the Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relationship, linking the star formation rate (Sigma_SFR) to the molecular gas surface density (Sigma_mol), in the STING sample of nearby disk galaxies using a hierarchical Bayesian…

We investigate the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) surface density and gas surface density (known as the Kennicutt-Schmidt, KS, relation) at kiloparsec (kpc) scales across cosmic time ($0\le z \le 8$) for galaxies with stellar…

This study investigated the relation between the surface density of star formation rate (SFR) ($\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$), stellar mass ($\Sigma_{M_{\ast}}$), and molecular gas mass ($\Sigma_{M_\mathrm{mol}}$) on nearly 1 kpc scales averaged…

The surface densities of molecular gas, $\Sigma_{\rm H_2}$, and the star formation rate (SFR), $\dot\Sigma_\star$, correlate almost linearly on kiloparsec scales in observed star-forming (non-starburst) galaxies. We explore the origin of…

We investigate the relationship between the star formation rate (SFR) and dense molecular gas mass in the nuclei of galaxies. To do this, we utilize the observed 850 micron luminosity as a proxy for the infrared luminosity and SFR, and…
