We explore the relationship between mid-infrared (mid-IR) and CO rotational line emission from massive star-forming galaxies, which is one of the tightest scalings in the local universe. We assemble a large set of unresolved and moderately (~1 kpc) spatially resolved measurements of CO (1-0) and CO (2-1) intensity, I CO, and mid-IR intensity, I MIR, at 8, 12, 22, and 24 μm.
