We establish new results on convergence, in strong topologies, of solutions of the parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel system in the plane to the corresponding solutions of the parabolic-elliptic model, as a physical parameter goes to zero. Our main tools are suitable space-time estimates, implying the global existence of slowly decaying (in general, nonintegrable) solutions for these models, under a natural smallness assumption.
