SUMMARY:The Nature of the Star Forming Main Sequence - William Baker

DESCRIPTION:The Star-Forming Main Sequence describes how the stellar mass 
 and star formation rate of galaxies are observed to positively correlate. 
 It is used frequently for defining different galaxy populations and predic
 ting quantities. But is it a fundamental relationship? In this talk I will
  present results investigating the scaling relations that exist between st
 ar formation rate\, stellar mass and molecular gas mass on both local (res
 olved) scales and global (galaxy wide) scales for galaxies both in the loc
 al universe and at high redshift. I use a combination of partial correlati
 on coefficients and random forest regression to uncover which scaling rela
 tions are intrinsic\, and those that are instead indirect by-products of o
 ther more fundamental relationships.
