Star formation rate across the molecular gas spiral. The left panel shows the BPT diagnostic diagram for the combined MUSE WFM+NFM emission line maps, binned to 100 pc resolution. Ionised gas in NGC 4593’s innermost 1.3 kpc form a mixing sequence, with the star-forming fraction fSF modelled using Rainbow. The right panel shows the resulting star formation rate surface density (ΣSFR), overlaid with molecular gas spiral contours. Although the spatial distribution of ΣSFR roughly aligns with the molecular gas, the peaks of the two structures are offset by up to ∼200 pc.
