Cloud-scale ISM structure and star formation in M51

We compare the structure of molecular gas at 40 pc resolution to the ability of gas to form stars across the disk of the spiral galaxy M51. We break the PAWS survey into 370 pc and 1.1 kpc resolution elements, and within each we estimate the molecular gas depletion time ( ##IMG## [http://ej.iop.org/...
