The spatially resolved correlation between [NII] 205 μm line emission and the 24 μm continuum in nearby galaxies
Abstract
A correlation between the 24 μm continuum and the [Nii] 205 μm line emission may arise if both quantities trace the star formation activity on spatially-resolved scales within a galaxy, yet has so far only been observed in the nearby edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891. We therefore assess whether the [Nii] 205−24 μm emission correlation has some physical origin or is merely an artefact of line-of-sight projection effects in an edge-on disc. We …
