Fire and Ice in the Whirlpool: Spatially Resolved Scaling Relations between X-Ray-emitting Hot Gas and Cold Molecular Gas in M51 by Chunyi Zhang, Junfeng Wang, Tian-Wen Cao

“…We demonstrate that the core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the primary source of energy for heating gas in the galactic center of M51, leading to the observed steep ${L}_{0.5-2\,{\rm{keV}}}^{{\rm{gas}}}$ – L _IR and ${L}_{0.5-2\,{\rm{keV}}}^{{\rm{gas}}}$ – ${L}_{{\rm{gas}}}^{{\rm{{\prime} }}}$ relations, as their X-ray radiation efficiencies ( η  ≡  ${L}_{0.5-2\,{\rm{keV}}}^{{\rm{gas}}}$ / ${\dot{E}}_{{\rm{SN}}}$ ) increase with the star formation rate surface densities (Σ _SFR ), where ${\dot{E}}_{{\rm{SN}}}$ is the SN mechanical energy input rate.…”
