الوصف: The star formation rate in galaxies is well known to correlate with stellar mass (the `star-forming main sequence'). Here we extend this further to explore any additional dependence on galaxy surface brightness, a proxy for stellar mass surface density. We use a large sample of low redshift ($z \leq 0.08$) galaxies from the GAMA survey which have both SED derived star formation rates and photometric bulge-disc decompositions, the latter providing measures of disc surface brightness and disc masses. Using two samples, one of galaxies fitted by a single component with S\'{e}rsic index below 2 and one of the discs from two-component fits, we find that once the overall mass dependence of star formation rate is accounted for, there is no evidence in either sample for a further dependence on stellar surface density.
