21 μm images and PDFs of the galactic disk of NGC 0628 convolved to progressively lower resolutions, similar to Figure 11—0.″674 (the native resolution of the F2100W filter), 0.″85 (our working resolution), 4.″0, 7.″5, and 15.″0. This corresponds to physical resolutions of 32, 40, 190, 356, and 712 pc, respectively, in NGC 0628. While the power law is very prominent at high resolution, the power-law component is rapidly diluted at lower resolutions that do not resolve individual star-forming regions in the disk.
