\section{Description of the data}  This project uses observations by made by  ALMA under project 2012.1.00762.S by Hirota et al.  of 2.6 mm $^{12}$CO(1-0) emission from M83. $^{12}$CO is used as a tracer of H$_2$ and the size, velocity line width, and luminosity of the GMCs can be found from the data \cite{Solomon_1987}. A CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor of X$_{\mathrm{CO}} = 2\times 10^{20}$~(K~km~s$^{-1}$)$^{-1}$~cm$^{-2}$ was used to derive the mass of H$_2$ gas. Assuming the clouds are in virial equilibrium, a virial mass was found from the radius and velocity line width \cite{Solomon_1987}.
