Caption: Fig. 2.
Number of star‐forming concentrations as a function of the smoothing scale for five regions in NGC 2207 (top left), for nine regions in eight galaxies (bottom left), and for three types of models (right). The dashed line has a slope of −1 on this log‐log plot. The observations are best fitted by a fractal with a dimension of 2.3, as shown by the dashed lines on the right.
