The Arp 240 Galaxy Merger: A Detailed Look at the Molecular Kennicutt–Schmidt Star Formation Law on Subkiloparsec Scales

The molecular Kennicutt–Schmidt Law has been key for understanding star formation (SF) in galaxies across all redshifts. However, recent subkiloparsec observations of nearby galaxies reveal deviations from the nearly unity slope ( N ) obtained with disk-averaged measurements. We study SF and molecul...
