Abstract

We present CO J = 2-1 observations toward 32 nearby gas-rich star-forming galaxies selected from the ALFALFA and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) catalogs, using the Sub-millimeter Telescope (SMT). Our sample is selected to be dominated by intermediate-M-* galaxies. The scaling relations between molecular gas, atomic gas, and galactic properties (stellar mass, NUV - r, and WISE color W3 - W2) are examined and discussed. Our results show the following. (1) In the galaxies with stellar mass M-*
