We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate (SFR) per unit of gas, in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws and thresholds. We use H i maps from The H i Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) and derive H 2 maps of CO measured by HER...
