Revisiting the Extended Schmidt Law: The Important Role of Existing Stars in Regulating Star Formation

We revisit the proposed extended Schmidt law, which posits that the star formation efficiency in galaxies depends on the stellar mass surface density, by investigating spatially resolved star formation rates (SFRs), gas masses, and stellar masses of star formation regions in a vast range of galactic...
