| Abstract: |
We investigate the relation between the surface densities of the gas and stars in various regions in the disks of M101 and M81 to investigate the Kennicutt-Schmidt law. The galaxies were observed with the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) onboard AKARI at central wavelengths of 65, 90, 140 and 160 μm. The spectral energy distribution of the whole galaxies shows the presence of a cold dust component in addition to a warm dust component. The cold and warm dust components can be related to the gas mass and newly-formed stellar mass, respectively, whose relation in various regions shows a power-law correlation. There are significant differences in the power-law index between outer arms with four giant HII regions and inner arms in M101, while the power-law index for spiral arms of M81 is similar to that for inner arms in M101. |
