Extended Data Fig. 1: Sample of ALMA submm-bright galaxies in the SFR–M⋆–z plane.
From: In situ spheroid formation in distant submillimetre-bright galaxies
The solid and dashed black lines represent the positions of the main sequence at a common redshift (from left to right: z = 1.5, 2.5 and 4.0) and the associated 1σ dispersion given by ref. 85. The dotted red line shows the main sequence threshold above which galaxies are classified as starbursts (SFR/SFRMS > 4, ΔMS = 0.6 dex). We note that the values of SFR shown in each panel were scaled to a common redshift zbin by multiplying the actual SFR by a factor of \({{\rm{SFR}}}_{{\rm{MS}}}^{{z}_{{\rm{bin}}}}/{{\rm{SFR}}}_{{\rm{MS}}}^{z}\), to maintain the relative position of each galaxy with respect to the main sequence at its redshift. The vertical and horizontal bars indicate the median uncertainties of M⋆ and SFR, respectively.
