Scientific paper

We introduce a new diagnostic diagram for illuminating and interpreting the observed rate of star formation in nearby galaxies. Fundamentally the new plot underlies the spatially-resolved Schmidt-Sanduleak relation, and provides novel physical insight into the origins of that higher-level relation between tracers of star formation activity and spatially-averaged surface gas densities.
