These are AGN extracted from NUclei of GAlaxies (NUGA) survey. This study is aimed at investigating the correlations and slopes of the K-S relation, as a function of spatial resolution and of different ^12^CO emission lines used to trace {Sigma}_H2_, and testing its validity in the high-density central regions of spiral galaxies. We used interferometric IRAM ^12^CO(1-0) and ^12^CO(2-1), and SMA ^12^CO(3-2) emission line maps to derive {Sigma}_H2_ and HS T-H{alpha} to estimate {Sigma}_SFR_. Description: ^12^CO(1-0) and ^12^CO(2-1) line intensity maps are part of the NUGA survey. NUGA observations have been carried out with 6 antennas of the PdBI in the ABCD configuration of the array and with the IRAM 30m single dish telescope. For NGC 4569 and NGC 4826, we have also ^12^CO(3-2) line intensity maps obtained with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) in its compact configuration with seven working antennas. We retrieved H{alpha} emission-line images from the Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA) that makes available HST WFPC2 observations of our galaxy sample.
