(left) Herschel SPIRE 500 μm dust continuum map of the LMC displayed on a logarithmic stretch. Circles indicate the positions of the ALMA fields. (right) Correlation between ¹²CO and ¹³CO for 100 GMCs in the LMC. The points are color-coded by the far-infrared luminosity ﹩(\mathrm{log}{L}_{\,\rm{FIR}\,})﹩ from YSOs inside the molecular clouds. The red dashed line represents the ensemble mean ratio (R₁₃ = 0.082).
