Extended Data Fig. 4: NGC 300 seen at different aperture sizes.
From: Fast and inefficient star formation due to short-lived molecular clouds and rapid feedback
This figure illustrates the image processing of this work. The panels show the Hα emission (left) and CO(1–0) emission (right) from NGC 300 convolved with top-hat apertures of diameters increasing from top to bottom from 20 pc to 2,560 pc (see the annotated circles). Each panel also shows the locations of the emission peaks identified in the images at 20-pc resolution (crosses), at which the flux density measurements are made when deriving the CO-to-Hα flux ratio as a function of size scale as in Fig. 1.
