10 Linewidth – Size Relation spirals dwarfs outer disk

11 Luminosity – Radius Relation spirals dwarfs outer disk

12 Larson’s “Parameter” spirals dwarfs outer disk fixed external pressure (Field et al. 2011) What controls nature of clouds (ie offsets)? … concordance of properties for neighboring clouds? What controls nature of clouds (ie offsets)? … concordance of properties for neighboring clouds?

13 Concordance of Cloud Nature? 500pc avg cloud properties (σ 2 /l) for neighboring clouds

14 Concordance of Cloud Nature? Distance H 2 Surface Density @ 200pc SFR Surface Density @ 200pc Cloud Mass
