cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesh-i-line-emissionradio-astronomyWe measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate (SFR) per unit of gas, in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws and thresholds. We use HI maps from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) and derive H_2_ maps of CO measured by HERA CO-Line Extragalactic Survey and Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association Survey of Nearby Galaxies. We estimate the SFR by combining Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) far-ultraviolet maps and the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) 24um maps, infer stellar surface density profiles from SINGS 3.6um data, and use kinematics from THINGS.2008AJ....136.2782Lhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/136/2782CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/AJ/136/2563 : HI Nearby Galaxy Survey, THINGS (Walter+, 2008)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/136/2782https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/136/2782http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/136/2782https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/136/2782https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/136/2782http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/136/2782GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/136/2782/sample (Properties of sample galaxies })https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/136/2782/sample?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/136/2782/sample?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/136/2782/sample?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true193.521866727.14963060.0055555555555555566/2320 5715 5751 7241 7602 7604 7624 7743 7799 7956 10841 10856 10911 11027 13522 15592 16441 18398 27030 27514 28149 28167 28631https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/136/2782?format=asciiRadiodefaultJ/AJ/136/2782/table7Table of radial profilesNameGalaxy namemeta.id;meta.maincharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
