The Arizona Molecular ISM Survey with the SMT: Variations in the CO(2–1)/CO(1–0) Line Ratio across the Galaxy Population by Ryan P. Keenan, Daniel P. Marrone, Garrett K. Keating

“…We find strong trends between r _21 and SFR, SFR surface density, star formation efficiency, and distance from the star formation main sequence (SFMS). We show that the assumption of a constant r _21 can introduce biases into the molecular gas trends in galaxy population studies and demonstrate how this affects the recovery of important galaxy scaling relations, including the Kennicutt–Schmidt law and the relation between SFMS offset and star formation efficiency. …”
