ALMA CO-CAVITY void galaxies physical properties

We contextualise our sample against representative unresolved and resolved surveys. While our sample provides a good representation of the VG population and follows the distribution of key properties seen in star-forming galaxy samples, galaxies included in resolved studies from the literature tend to be more massive, less isolated, and located in denser large-scale environments. We present global scaling relat ions for the ALMA CO-CAVITY sample and find that the molecular gas main sequence exhibits the smallest scatter (0.21 dex), followed by the Schmidt-Kennicutt relation and the star-forming main sequence.

From integrated properties alone, we find that these scaling relations for VGs are compatible with those for denser environments. This paper lays the foundation for forthcoming studies exploiting this unique dataset.
