Star formation and gas contents in disk galaxies: complex relationships.
Abstract
The author made a statistical study of the links between the star formation indicators and gas tracers in a sample of 469 disk galaxies. He studied the global properties of the sample objects: total gas content and global star formation indicators at various wavelengths from the optical colors to the radio continuum emission.
