Measured Σ _SFR as a function of ΣΩ for all models. The points and error bars give mean values and standard deviations over t/ t _orb = 2–3. The dotted line shows our best fit Σ _SFR = 0.008ΣΩ for an imposed unity slope, and the dashed line shows the empirical result Σ _SFR = 0.017ΣΩ of Kennicutt (1998).
