Metal-THINGS: a panchromatic analysis of the local scaling relationships of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569

We investigate several panchromatic scaling relations (SRs) for the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569 using Integral Field Unit (IFU) data from the Metal-THINGS Survey. Among the spatially resolved properties analysed, we explore SRs between the stellar mass, SFR, molecular gas, total gas, baryonic mass, gas metallicity, gas fraction, SFE, and effective oxygen yields. Such multiwavelength SRs are analysed at a spatial resolution of 180 pc, by combining our IFU observations with data from the surveys THINGS, CARMA, and archival data from DustPedia. Although we recover several known relations, our slopes are different to previously reported ones. Our star formation main sequence, Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS), and molecular KS relations show higher SFRs, lower scatter, and higher correlations, with steeper (1.21), and flatter slopes (0.96, 0.58), respectively. The shape of the SRs including metallicity, stellar mass, and gas fraction are flat, with an average value of 12 + log(O/H) similar to 8.12 dex. The baryonic mass versus effective oxygen yields, and the stellar, gas and baryonic mass versus SFE show higher dispersions and lower correlations. Since we use the dust mass as a tracer of gas mass, we derive the dust-to-gas ratio and the CO luminosity-to-molecular gas mass conversion factors, showing differences of 0.16 and 0.95 dex for the total and molecular gas surface density, respectively, in comparison to previously reported values. We use a self-regulated feedback model to conclude that stellar feedback plays an important role generating outflows in NGC 1569.
