Abstract (from CDS):

We study spatially resolved scaling relations among stars, dust, and gas in ten nearby spiral galaxies. In a preceding paper, we have derived spatially resolved properties of the stellar population and dust by a panchromatic spectral energy distribution fitting using piXedfit. Now, we investigate resolved star formation (${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$-ΣSFR-Σ*) and dust scaling relations. While the relations with all subgalactic regions of the galaxies are reasonably tight (σ ≲ 0.3 dex), we find that most of the scaling relations exhibit galaxy-to-galaxy variations in normalization and shape. Only two relations of Σdust-Σgas and Σdust-${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$ do not show noticeable galaxy-to-galaxy variations among our sample galaxies. We further investigate the correlations among the scaling relations. We find significant correlations among the normalization of the ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$-ΣSFR-Σ* relations, which suggest that the galaxies with higher levels of resolved H2 fraction (${f}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$) tend to have higher levels of resolved star formation efficiency (SFE) and specific star formation rate (sSFR). We also observe that the galaxies with higher levels of resolved dust-to-stellar mass ratios tend to have higher levels of resolved sSFR, SFE, and ${f}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$. Moreover, we find that the galaxies with higher global sSFR and less compact morphology tend to have higher levels of the resolved sSFR, SFE, and ${f}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$, which can explain the variations in the normalization of the ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$-ΣSFR-Σ* relationships. Overall, we observe indications of the contributions of both global and local factors in governing the star formation process in galaxies.
